Rails 2.0 and nested routes

Rails
1

I have seen the new way to define RESTful routes. How would you define
the following routes in the newstyle?

map.resources :dinners do |dinner|
dinner.resources :dishes do |dish|
dish.resources :side_courses
end
end

Any ideas?

Thanks!

That’s totally current and up-to-date for Rails 2.0. If by “new way”
you mean the :has_many and :has_one options, those are just shortcuts
for nesting resources or singular resource, respectively. I don’t think
you can do multiple levels that way though.

The :has_one and :has_many are the shortcuts I was eluding to. Just
making sure I am doing things the correct way with Rails 2.0.

Thanks
