How do you route [OPTIONS] in Rails?

问题:

I am making a REST service in Rails. Here are my routes.

  resources :users
  match '/users', :controller => 'users', :action => 'options', :constraints => {:method => 'OPTIONS'}

I am able to [GET] my users. I am trying to update my users and I get an error:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [OPTIONS] "/users/1"):

When I run rake routes here are the routes that I am given:

    users GET    /users(.:format)          users#index
          POST   /users(.:format)          users#create
 new_user GET    /users/new(.:format)      users#new
edit_user GET    /users/:id/edit(.:format) users#edit
     user GET    /users/:id(.:format)      users#show
          PUT    /users/:id(.:format)      users#update
          DELETE /users/:id(.:format)      users#destroy
                 /users(.:format)          users#options {:method=>"OPTIONS"}

Could someone please show me how to fix my routes so I can make any kind of REST call? Thanks.

回答1:

match '/users' => "users#options", via: :options

would also be a possible route if placed before the other routes.

回答2:

The reason that I could not route the request, was that my match did not have the user id in it. I added the line:

match '/users/:id', :controller => 'users', :action => 'options', :constraints => {:method => 'OPTIONS'}

and now I can route all of my GET request.

If you don't want to create two additional routes for /users and for /users/id you can do this:

match 'users(/:id)' => 'users#options', via: [:options]

In this case, the id become optional, both /users and /users/id will respond to the same route.
