Using irwi as a nested resource

[ninadpachpute]

Hi,

I have a project-management app build and would like to have a wiki for every project. In other words, I would like to have wiki resource nested inside project resource.

Can I use irwi and how?

Thanks in advance.

Hi! There is no built-in support for now, but there are three steps which should be sufficient:

• When defining routes you should use appropriate wiki root parameter, for example /projects/:project_id/wiki if you want per-project wiki.

• In your wiki page model define class method, which find or create page by resource and path, for example:

  def find_by_project_id_and_path_or_new( project_id, path )
  self.find_by_project_id_and_path( project_id, path ) || self.new( :project_id => project_id, :path => path, :title => path )
  end

• In your wiki controller define method @setup_page@, which select page by upper method:

  def setup_page
  @page = page_class.find_by_project_id_and_path_or_new( params[:path].join('/') ) # Find existing page by path or create new
  end

And that should be all you need to get per-resource wiki.
