How to implement a Rails model called "series"?

Question

Single and multiple forms are the same, and I get an undefined_method error when trying to apply the New method.

I understand why, and I know that the easiest solution would be to use a different name.

I also know that I can create a custom inflection, but what?

The problem is that I really need URLs like / series, / series / 1, etc., because I am actually modeling ... wait for it ... a series of events.

Using "set" or "sequence" or another synonym does not convey the intended value.

A series of events is a series that is not a plurality or sequence.

Is there a way to "alias" the model?

Should / can I use named routes?

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Assuming you used script/generate scaffold series to create a model controller, etc., you should have a line in /config/routes.rb, for example

 map.resources :series 

If you change it to

 map.series_index '/series',:controller=>'series',:action=>:index map.resource :series 

It will work. Or you can add an Eric Hill inflection initializer.

Answer 2

So:

 class Series < ActiveRecord::Base ... end 

definitely not working? Looking at the source , a series is one of the rules for constructing unique images, and according to the “Pluralizer,” you should be able to name the class of the Series model, as described above.

Answer 3

You should be able to do this exclusively with kinks. In config/initializers/inflections.rb :

 ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect| inflect.uncountable 'series' end 

Restart the application to activate.
