Rails How to Generate a Google Drive-like permalink? -

When we share a Google Drive form, this will give our public URL.

How can we apply it in our Rail application? It should be random and not repeated.

Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Update

I mean this is url:

But I want a url You should add a Permalink

/ model /: id , but if you want to use the / model / permalink , simply add new fields, Save something like secureorendum and save it to the model, then create the URL and share it.

You can do something like:

  class SomeModel & lt; ActiveRecord :: Base after_create: gener_permalink Personal DRAF Generated_Permalink self.permalink = SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64 (32) End of End  

Then in some views where your user can find permalink url:

Title> "Model Title", some_model_url (some_model.permalink)%>

The above helpers will create your URL which goes to your some_model controller's show action. You can, of course, take a new action if you wish and add it to your own routes, but I'm just going through a simple way.

In the show action of your controller you will need to find the model by its permalink:

class SomeModelController & lt; ApplicationController def show @some_model = SomeModel.where ("id =: id or permalink =: id", id: params [: id]). First end end

See more in your routes with a little more tweaking, you can shorten the URL for what you have posted in your question:

 routes  file to  http://yourhost.com/1PPVIMrDo61Er9tqYlJRntfNT73jpxtd_YJGGjXOMlAw  

, When no other way is matched, your parametic path will catch the random string and it will be near the controller. Your choice will be:

  # config / routes.rb get "/: permalink", for: "some_model # show", like :: permalink  

< P> Param [: id] instead of parameter [: permalink] will be called in its controller here: get "/: id" You can simplify the code in your controller, but I think it's good to be clear.

Then, correct URL to change just your view:
