Sends specified methods to the params

RoutingParamsFilters
====================

This plugin enables the ability of adding filters, or sending methods to the parameters you are expecting to read from the URL. It's useful if you are expecting to read an integer, a collection of values, etc.

Example
=======

In your routes.rb file:

    ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|

      map.connect "/something/:something_id",
                :controller => 'some',
                :action     => 'create',
                :conditions => { :method => :post, :something_id => :to_i }
      
      ...
      
    end
  
Then:
    curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/something/123"
    Parameters: {"action"=>"create", "something_id"=>123, "controller"=>"entries"}

You can even do other things like
    map.connect "/something/:something_id",
              :controller => 'some',
              :action     => 'create',
              :conditions => { :method => :post, :something_id => "split(',')" }

So:
    curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/something/123,456,789"
    Parameters: {"action"=>"create", "something_id"=>["123","456","789"], "controller"=>"entries"}
