Restful Rails – Driving me crazy

Rails has poor documentation. The way a lot of the stuff is dynamically generated really sucks, it  needs to pick up its game here.

I needed to create a link to a dynamically generated csv file. Cool, I’ll just look up the documentation…crap! nothing there. I’ll just then google and google and google. After about half an hour I found it…

This was my original link all nice and restful

<%= link_to “report” report_customers_url %>

Then to convert it into a url that points to my dynamically created csv file I need to do this:

<%= link_to “report” formatted_report_customers_url(:csv) %>
