Route the URL via Path Configuration

As we learned in Chapter 3, ​Navigate Gracefully with Path Configuration​, our path configuration helps us keep our business logic on the server. This creates low-maintenance, server-driven apps. In our scenario here, instead of hard-coding which URL paths to render as maps, we can apply path properties from our remote JSON file.

Start by adding a new rule to the path configuration on the server, matching the path for a hike’s map to assign the view_controller property.

class ConfigurationsController < ApplicationController
  def ios_v1
    render json: {
      settings: {},
      rules: [
        {
          patterns: [
            "/new$",
            "/edit$"
          ],
  ...
