I know how to set the routes root of my rails app to a controller and an action.
But how to add an id?
/pages/show/1
should be the root.
How do I set this?

Had this same problem and this worked for me:
root :to => "pages#show", :id => '1'
As of Rails 4.0, you can declare the root route like this:
root 'controller#action'
Matthew's solution works, but I think it is more readable to fetch the object. For example, let's say you want to root to the Page#show
action for the page with the name "landing". This is a bit more readable:
root :to => "pages#show", :id => Page.find_by_name("landing").id
From a performance perspective, this solution is worse because it requires an additional database query, but this solution is more readable if performance is not a high priority.
I'm using Rails 5.1 to point the home page to a specific blog. In config/routes.rb I have ...
root 'blogs#show', {id: 1}
This will point the root route to /blogs/1
I'm doing this on a blog site I'm building. The first blog will be the main site blog as well as the homepage.
Cheers
Try:
match 'pages/show/:id' => 'pages#show', :as => :root
In Rails console. rake routes | grep root
, should show something like:
root /pages/show/:id(.:format) {:controller=>"pages", :action=>"show"}
Hope that helps.
Use Rails 5.1 Add this to the config/routes.rb
root 'pages#show', {id: 1}
