Resourceful Routes
RESTful routes with resources
ruby
# Full CRUD routes
resources :posts
# Limit to specific actions
resources :posts, only: [:index, :show]
resources :posts, except: [:destroy]
# Nested resources
resources :users do
resources :posts
end✅ resources generates 7 RESTful routes automatically
💡 Use only/except to limit generated routes
🔍 Shallow nesting prevents deep URL structures
⚡ Check routes with rails routes command
