Rails routes do not contain id in that

I use rails 5 and setting route, type rake routes in console and result is:

Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
new_report_templates GET /report_templates/new(.:format) report_templates#new
edit_report_templates GET /report_templates/edit(.:format) report_templates#edit
report_templates GET /report_templates(.:format) report_templates#show
PATCH /report_templates(.:format) report_templates#update
PUT /report_templates(.:format) report_templates#update
DELETE /report_templates(.:format) report_templates#destroy
POST /report_templates(.:format) report_templates#create


It's so weird to see that result routes do not have id in url template. My route:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
resource :report_templates
end


I use gem 'rails', '~> 5.1.6'. So my question is: why my result routes do not contain id in that ?

It's because your are using singular resources:

Sometimes, you have a resource that clients always look up without referencing an ID.

Change your routes to use resources for certain routes to contain the id:

id

Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :report_templates
end
