Rails routing resource in namespace starting with a parameter

Question

I have 2 namespaces, api and v1 I have accounts and users as resources.

I want to map the routing as follows for all my resources:

/api/v1/:account_id/:resource/:id

i.e: /api/v1/1/users/2

In the example 1 stands for account id and 2 stands for user id.

How do I accomplish this?

Welcome to Stack Overflow. Your question is a bit obscure, it's difficult to understand what you're asking. I suggest that you edit your question to make it more understandable — user2109908

What? I think it's pretty straight forward. I even gave an example. What is it that you don't understand? — Ciprian Tarta

I apologise, I stand corrected. The lack of formatting made me jump the gun a bit — user2109908

This does away with namespaces, such that you don't need to append API::V1:: to each controller, or bury view files in subdirectories. The following uses normal, top-level controllers and views:

scope '/api/v1/:id', :as => 'account' do
  resources :users
end

If you want to keep all the namespace structure stuff, do this:

namespace 'api' do
  namespace 'v1' do
    scope '/:id', :as => 'account' do
      resources :users
    end
  end
end

Something is happening, but now I get a uninitialized constant UsersController. The idea was for the directory structre: app - ws - v1 - users_controller.rb Doesn't seem to work like that. Is there any way I could use namespace instead of scope? Noob questions, sorry, just started with rails and I'm forced by the Client to do it like this.

had to add... to: 'api/v1/users'

Answer updated. Also, I am going off of your example. You need to replace resources :users with the resources you actually have.

Only new to rails, not programming in general :)

One more question, sorry, I'm getting a "Template is missing", obviously I don't have any templates, but I just want to return .json Tried respond_to :json, doesn't seem to do the trick, am I missing something?
