Rails

Routes in Rails are responsible for mapping URLs to actions in controllers, allowing the framework to know how to respond to different HTTP requests. Routes are defined in the config/routes.rb file and follow a simple yet powerful syntax.

Here's an explanation of how routes work in Rails:

Route Definition: Routes are defined using Rails methods like get, post, put, patch, delete, among others. Each method corresponds to an HTTP request type. Mapping URLs to Actions: When defining a route, you specify a URL and which controller action should be executed when that URL is accessed. For example:

ruby snippet
1get '/posts', to: 'posts#index'
