#70 Custom Routes

In this episode you will learn how to add custom routes, make some parameters optional, and add requirements for other parameters.

在这集中，你将会学会如何添加自定义路由，使得一些变量可选，并且对某些变量进行控制。

# in routes.rb
  map.connect 'articles/:year/:month/:day', :controller => 'articles',
    :month => nil, :day => nil, :requirements => { :year => /\d{4}/ }

def find_by_date 
  @posts = blog.posts.by_year(params[:year]) 
  if params[:month] 
    @posts = @posts.by_month(params[:month])
    @posts = @posts.by_day(params[:day]) if params[:day] 
  end 
end

=================

In the model:

named_scope :by_year, lambda { |year| {:conditions => ["YEAR(created_at) = ?", year]} }
named_scope :by_month, lambda { |month| {:conditions => ["MONTH(created_at) = ?", month]} }
named_scope :by_day, lambda { |day| {:conditions => ["DAY(created_at) = ?", day]} }
