Routes with Dash `-` Instead of Underscore `_` in Ruby on Rails

Question

I want my urls to use dash - instead of underscore _ as word separators. For example controller/my-action instead of controller/

Answer 1

if you use underscores in a controller and view file then just use dashes in your routes file, and it will work..

get 'blog/example-text' this is my route for this controller

def example_text end <-- this is my controller

and example_text.html.erb is the file

and this is the actual link site.com/blog/example-text

i figured this is works for me, and it's more effective than underscores SEO wise
