Single custom param name in routes for nested resources Rails 4.1

Question

I have question about param name for nested resources in rails routes For example i have:

resources :controller1, param: :controller_id do
  resources :controller2
end

and i have routes:

controller1/:controller_id/
...
controller1/:controller_controller_id/controller2/...
...

I want single :controller_id for controller1 I know it's looks bad, but How do this? Thanks!

remove 'param: :controller_id' and you can check route (action) in application controller with use params[:id] or params[:controller_id] for get data — Mikhail, Feb 11 '15 at 17:39

how about this:

resources :controller1, param: :controller_id do
  member do
    resources :controller2
  end
end

will generate

GET    /controller1/:controller_id
GET    /controller1/:controller_id/controller2
GET    /controller1/:controller_id/controller2/:id
...

Then you have to fix your nested resource paths helpers, since they will be absolute, `new_controller2_path` instead of `new_controller1_controller2_path` – Nick Roz May 19 '17 at 16:05

Try this and see;

resources :controller1, param: :controller_id, path: "" do
  resources :controller2, path: ""
end

@user3049436 Do u want it for the nested resource or parent resource? – acacia Jun 12 '14 at 10:29
I want it for parent and nested resource, for example: controller1/:controller_id /controller1/:controller_id/controller2/... – Mikhail Jun 13 '14 at 09:25
