Singleton resource, pluralized controller fix for rails

2009-01-26T04:01:00Z

map.resource still looks for a pluralized controller. This has always bugged me. Here’s a quick monkey patch to fix. Tested on rails 2.2.2.

# config/initializers/singleton_resource_fix.rb
module ActionController
  module Resources
    class SingletonResource < Resource #:nodoc:
      def initialize(entity, options)
        @singular = @plural = entity
        # options[:controller] ||= @singular.to_s.pluralize
        options[:controller] ||= @singular.to_s # This is the only line to change
        super
      end
    end
  end
end

# config/routes.rb
# before fix
map.resource :session, :controller => 'sessions'

# after fix
map.resource :session
