Override default route if no parameter specified
Question
Consider the following snippet:
get '/hello/:name' do |n|
"Hello #{n}!"
end
How can I set a default parameters if name isn't specified? If I can set the default paramater to Tom will this also route the URL so /hello/ will automatically redirect to /hello/tom?
Solution
I think you have to do something like:
get '/hello/' do
redirect '/hello/tom'
end
You could do 'hello/*' and access it through params[:splat]
, if you just want one place for the logic. But you would still have to redirect to get to the /hello/tom url from /hello/.
