Deprecated Dynamic Actions

Rails routes have supported dynamic actions in the past, like this:

# config/routes.rb

 get 'ui(/:action)', controller: 'ui'

The 'Today I Learned' application uses code like this to create design templates.

This will be deprecated in Rails 5.1. If you want to address the change now, while still supporting a variety of routes, one solution is to name them explicitly:

# config/routes.rb

namespace 'ui' do
  %w(index edit show).each do |action|
    get action, action: action
  end
end
