## Explanation of routes
|
|
|
|
Mastodon uses Ruby on Rails, which defines its router configuration at config/routes.rb. You may view the [Ruby on Rails routing guide](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html) for more detailed information, but this page will explain the basics of how Mastodon handles routing.
|
|
|
|
### How routes are constructed
|
|
|
|
`namespace` is a prefix for routes mapped to a certain controller directory. `resources` are mapped to controllers within that namespace directory. `scope` passes to the `module`'s controller. For example, consider the following abbreviated code:
|
|
|
|
{{< code title="config/routes.rb excerpt" >}}
|
|
```ruby
|
|
namespace :api do
|
|
namespace :v1 do
|
|
resources :statuses, only [:create, :show, :destroy] do
|
|
scope module: :statuses do
|
|
resource :favourite, only: :create
|
|
resource :unfavourite, to: 'favourites#destroy'
|
|
member do
|
|
get :context
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
The first available resource is :statuses, which is nested under the :api and :v1 namespaces. Thus, the resulting HTTP route will be /api/v1/statuses. The `only` defines certain allowed methods, which are to be defined in the controller at `app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb`.
|
|
|
|
Within /api/v1/statuses, there is a scope for a module :statuses, where additional resources are defined. The controllers for these resources live in `app/controllers/api/v1/statuses/`. For example, :favourite will be handled by the \#create action within `app/controllers/api/v1/statuses/favourites_controller.rb` and :unfavourite will be handled within the same controller, but by the \#destroy action.
|
|
|
|
There is also a custom method defined for any `member` within this scope, or in other words, for any status to be controlled by `app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb`, which is mapped to GET /api/v1/statuses/:id/context and handled by the :context action defined within that controller.
|
|
|
|
### Available methods
|
|
|
|
#### :index
|
|
|
|
Maps to HTTP GET, for a list. Handled by the \#index action in a controller.
|
|
|
|
#### :show
|
|
|
|
Maps to HTTP GET, for a single view. Handled by the \#show action in a controller.
|
|
|
|
#### :create
|
|
|
|
Maps to HTTP POST. Handled by the \#create action in a controller.
|
|
|
|
#### :update
|
|
|
|
Maps to HTTP PUT. Handled by the \#update action in a controller.
|
|
|
|
#### :destroy
|
|
|
|
Maps to HTTP DELETE. Handled by the \#destroy action in a controller.
