consernでリソースを使い回す

2.8 ルーティングの「concern」機能
concernを使うことで、他のリソース内で使いまわせる共通のルーティングを宣言できます。concernは以下のようにconcernブロックで定義します。

先にconcernを設定しておく

concern :commentable do
  resources :comments
end

concern :image_attachable do
  resources :images, only: :index
end

concernを利用すると、同じようなルーティングを繰り返し記述せずに済み、複数のルーティング間で同じ振る舞いを共有できます。

resources :messages, concerns: :commentable

resources :articles, concerns: [:commentable, :image_attachable]

上のコードは以下と同等です。

resources :messages do
  resources :comments
end

resources :articles do
  resources :comments
  resources :images, only: :index
end

scopeブロック内やnamespaceブロック内では、以下のように複数形のconcernsを呼び出すことでも上と同じ結果を得られます。

namespace :messages do
  concerns :commentable
end

namespace :articles do
  concerns :commentable
  concerns :image_attachable
end
