Rails 3. How to setup a controller with custom params?

Question

I create a controller to manage account balance BalanceController . It's supposed to use data from the Invoices and Expenses table. So I added one action to the BalanceController called account_balance . But I need to add a month and year param to generate a balance report.

This doesn't seem to work on routes.rb

get 'balance/account_balance/:month' => 'balance#account_balance/:month'

Answer 1

get 'balance/account_balance/:month' => 'balance#account_balance'

The string is just a controller/action combo.

Going to /balance/account_balance/march would then route to the account_balance action of the balance controller and params[:month] would be set to 'march'.
