Until now, people had to edit the original route files in order to add custom routes. This was inconsistent with the other customizations, since we use custom folders or files for customizing controllers, components, views, ... (which you usually customize as well when adding a new route). So now we're providing a file for custom routes, which will make it easier to know which routes are not present in Consul Democracy by default.

# Customizing routes
|
|
|
|
When adding custom controller actions, you also need to define a route to configure the URL that will be used for those actions. You can do so by editing the `config/routes/custom.rb` file.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you'd like to add a new section in the admin area to manage happy thoughts and verify they've become true, you can write:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
namespace :admin do
|
|
resources :happy_thoughts do
|
|
member do
|
|
put :verify
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, if, for example, you'd like to add a form to edit debates in the admin area:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
namespace :admin do
|
|
resources :debates, only: [:edit, :update]
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Doing so, the existing debates routes in the admin area will be kept, and the routes to edit and update them will be added.
|
|
|
|
Note that the routes you define on this file will take precedence over the default routes. So, if you define a route for `/proposals`, the default action for `/proposals` will not be used and the one you define will be used instead.
