Namespaced Models and the Collection Responder

[brendon]

I've come across a situation where the CollectionResponder improperly (for me) produces collection routes that include the full namespace of a model for the route_key. I've overridden this in my app to the following:

  def navigation_location
    return options[:location] if options[:location]

    klass = resources.last.class

    if klass.respond_to?(:model_name)
      model_name = ActiveModel::Name.new(klass, klass.module_parent)
      resources[0...-1] << model_name.route_key.to_sym
    else
      resources
    end
  end

Specifically I've changed: model_name = ActiveModel::Name.new(klass, klass.module_parent) (Rails 6.1+ I believe) so that it returns a model_name object that has been passed in the module_parent namespace. This results in the route_key being namespaceless.

For example I had respond_with :admin, form, submission in my destroy method for submissions. Submission is a model: Forms::Submission and I wanted a route admin_form_submissions_path but was getting admin_form_form_submissions_path because of the namespace.

I've fixed it for me, but wondered if you think it's worth allowing it to be configurable for this responder?
