How to change a route name rails 4

Question

I changed the routing of posts#index to match blog and I now get /blog in the URL which I was trying to accomplish.

I've tried several different things to get my actual blog post which the route currently looks something like /posts/this-is-a-test to also use blog rather than posts in the URL.
Below is my current route file. I am using the friendly_id gem, if that makes any difference in answering this question.

resources :posts do
  resources :comments
end

  resources :contacts, only: [:new, :create]

  root "pages#home"

  get "/home", to: "pages#home", as: "home"
  get "about" => 'pages#about'
  get "pricing" => 'pages#pricing'
  get "contact_us" => 'pages#contact_us'
  match 'blog', to: 'posts#index', via: :all
end 

Solution

path option along with resource must help.

resources :posts, :path => 'blogs' do
  resources :comments
end

This will change all /posts and /post to /blogs/ and /blog.

If you want to change your route's helper methods such as posts_path to blogs_path and new_post_path to new_blog_path etc, you can change it with as tag.

resources :posts, :path => 'blogs', :as => 'blogs' do
  resources :comments 
end

Or yet better, you can specify the controller and route blogs directly as:

resources :blogs, controller: 'posts' do
  resources :comments
end

This is the awesomeness of Rails! :)

@kiddorails thank you for cleaning up my question. I'm just starting to use stack more frequently and getting familiar with all the formatting. Reviewing your edits has been helpful in seeing where I can improve. Out of curiosity, why would you edit out a Thank you at the end of my question to show appreciation to folks in the community?

[kiddorails]

I am glad that it is helping you to grasp the question formatting etc. Personally, I wish to directly look and understand the question requirements; your 'thank-you' note was bigger than a line and was repeating the context of the question, so I removed it :). You could always attach just 'Thanks' or 'Thank you!' in your question though :)

Fair enough. Thank you for the answer below.

You'll also want as if you want to rename your path helpers to blog also

@kiddorails The only question now is how to get the views to load up from views/blogs instead of views/posts?
