Why do the routes to people#new and people#show result in person ? Why not people?

# config/routes.rb
resources :people, only: [:new, :create, :show]
$ rake routes

    Prefix Verb URI Pattern           Controller#Action
    people POST /people(.:format)     people#create
new_person GET  /people/new(.:format) people#new
    person GET  /people/:id(.:format) people#show

Rails automatically converts between singular and plural forms of words for you. You can see the logic documented in the Rails ActiveSupport Guide section on inflections. The logic with the routes is that the resources dealing with the collection will use the plural form, “people”, whereas the new and show actions (as well as edit and destroy) deal with a singular “person” resource.

Hope that helps!

Thanks! I should read more Rails Guides :smile:

If you are having trouble on OSX running ‘bin/setup’ because nokogiri has a failure related to missing library libiconv, try running
gem install nokogiri – --use-system-libraries

then rerun bin/setup
