ruby - Rails Controller Namespace

Question

What are advantages and disadvantages of using namespace in ruby on rails. For example: I've many controllers like

CompanyLocations 
CompanyXXXX 
CompanySports 
CompanyActivites
CompanyQQQQQ

I want to put all these controllers in Company folder. What is the rails best practice for this ?

Answer 1

You have to create a subfolder inside your controller/ directory, and the same in your views/ directory.

Your controller file should look like

module Company
 class SportsController < ApplicationController

 def index
 end

 end
end

...or

class Company::SportsController < ApplicationController

 def index
 end

end

You can also call your partials this way

render :template => "company/sports/index"

Then in routes.rb

namespace :company do
 resources :sports
end
