Rails routing - :on => :collection
13,287
Routes on collections are listed here.
The difference between :on => :collection
and :on => :member
are the style of route they produce and their associated route helpers.
resources :posts do
# on collection
get 'search', on: :collection
# --> generates '/posts/search' and search_posts_path
# on member
get 'share', on: :member
# --> generates'/posts/:id/share' and share_photo_path(@post)
end

The Rails routing guide doesn't specify what
:on => :collection
means.I cannot find an explanation to what the
:on
key is, nor what a:collection
is in that context.
