Rails Routing (root :to => …)

Question

I know how to set the routes root of my rails app to a controller and an action.

But how to add an id?

/pages/show/1 should be the root.

How

Answer 1

I'm using Rails 5.1 to point the home page to a specific blog. In config/routes.rb I have ...

root 'blogs#show', {id: 1}

This will point the root route to /blogs/1

I'm doing this on a blog site I'm building. The first blog will be the main site blog as well as the homepage.

Cheers
