How is it possible to use hyphen in resources urls?
For example: /my-model/ or /my-model/1.
If I define route as resources :"my-model" I get syntax error because rails generates method def hash_for_my-models_url(options = nil).

I have found the solution:
resources "my-models", :as => :my_models, :controller => :my_models
UPDATE:
As Timo Saloranta said in comment it works without :controller => :my_models in latest Rails 3 versions.

1I think this works too (difference would be in the naming of route helpers): `resources :product_types, :path => '/product-types'` – sandstrom Oct 17 '11 at 18:49

You can use the :as option to configure resourceful routes with hyphenated URLs:
map.resources :my_model, :as => "my-model"
results in
my_model_index GET /my-model(.:format) {:action=>"index",
:controller=>"my_model"}
...etc...

I have already tred to do this. I get the same error as when I am using hyphen-named model. – Andrey Kuznetsov Nov 03 '10 at 02:08

Have you tried a custom route?
map.connect "/my-model/:id", :controller => 'my-model-controller', :action => 'read'
This would invoke the 'read' method of 'my-model-controller.rb'.

Yes it is obvious solution but It is interesting how is it possible to define hyphen routes using resources. – Andrey Kuznetsov Nov 02 '10 at 15:55
