Rails 4 - how to use hyphen in view

Question

I'm trying to figure out the right way to use hyphens in Rails 4 view. If I create a controller view like this:

rails generate controller admin client_new

How then do I get the correct route output as:

http://www.website.com/admin/client-new

This is probably so basic, but I can't find the right doc's to support this.

Thanks,

Did you mean http://www.website.com/admin/client_new with underscore? — Miknash, Dec 19 '14 at 16:46
no, the view is client_new.html.erb, but I want the url architecture to change the underscore to the hyphen. — BradM, Dec 19 '14 at 16:49
Have you tried get "admin/client-new", to: "admin#client_new"? — Miknash, Dec 19 '14 at 16:50
take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/a/7798131/1380867 `resources :user_bundles, :path => '/user-bundles'` I think that this post will help — MZaragoza, Dec 19 '14 at 16:52

If you have action for this client_new.html.erb in some controller, then simply map it manually:

get '/admin/client-new', to: 'controller#action'

You will have to manually map the routes in the routes.rb file.

Your route would need to be explicitly set to point to the proper controller. Something like:

get '/admin/client-new', to: "admin/client_new#index"

This will perform the index method on Admin::ClientNewController when a GET is performed on /admin/client-new
