rails dynamic route with pagination

Question

I have the following routes:

Brand.all.each do |brand|
  get "/#{brand.slug}", to: 'brands#index'#
end

That generates:

"/tommy"
"/lacoste"
"/gap"

But when I access /lacoste for example, the page has a pagination (kaminari or will-paginate). The pagination links are generated like this:

"/tommy?page=2

The paginate method always shows the first brand route generated.

How can I solve this ?

Answer 1

I suggest the following approach

Add this route at the end of the routes.rb.

get "/:slug", to: 'brands#index'

And you can then find the brand based on the params[:slug] value.

def index
  @brand = Brand.find_by(name: params[:slug])
  # extra code 
end
