Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

SOAP request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:v1="http://v1_0.validation.ws.chief.blau.de/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <v1:validateName>
         <validationRequest>
            <names>
               <firstName>David</firstName>
               <lastName>Hasselhoff</lastName>

# Example Ruby CLI script to retrieve worker data from Workday
# Call on command line with worker id; prints worker name
# add "request" or "response" after worker id and prints the
# outgoing xml or received hash and exits.

# Using Savon version 2 for the SOAP client (2.11.2)

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
