在控制器中创建一个全新的动作会更好还是在Ruby on Rails中创建一个新的控制器？

Question

Basically I have an existing CollegeClass Controller that has the default basic RESTful actions like show for showing the webpage for that college class,edit for editing, and update for the post action of editing the page itself. I need to add an additional "About the class" webpage to this resource which will not add another model. It will just add another field to the existing CollegeClass table for the html that will present the new page.

Should I create a controlller exclusive to the "About the class"? Or should I add on into the CollegeClass controller new actions? Or do I need to nest this?

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

I would go with the custom action and just route it inside college routes as

resources :colleges do
  member do
    get 'about'
  end
end


CollegeController < ApplicationController
  def about
  end
end
