I thought I had a proposal for this, but then I looked some and
realized I don't quite get it.
In this list:
GET /messages -> messages.index()
POST /messages -> messages.create()
PUT /messages/1 -> messages.update(id)
DELETE /messages/1 -> messages.delete(id)
GET /messages/1 -> messages.show(id)
GET /messages/1;edit -> messages.edit(id)
what is the difference between update and edit? How come there's no
;delete? Also, what does new do?
I was thinking something like this might be good, separating the
"parameters" from the main URL, where :id could be anything:
/:controller/:id/:action;:format
Maybe either side of the semi-colon could be blank? This setup would be
good for my situation because I wouldn't need the :action;:format at
all and could just ignore it.
Anyway, these are just some ideas I'm having; maybe I'm off my rocker
here...
