Rails 3 - Restricting formats for action in resource routes

Question

I have a resource defined in my routes.

resources :categories

And I have the following in my Category controller:

  def sho         


        

Answer 1

I found that this seemed to work (thanks to @Pan for pointing me in the right direction):

resources :categories, :except => [:show]
resources :categories, :only => [:show], :defaults => { :format => 'json' }

The above seems to force the router into serving a format-less request, to the show action, as json by default.
