Can I make a route that does not map to a URL in Ruby on Rails? -

i have bunch of routes in routes.rb this:

post 'events/form1'=> 'events#form1', :as => 'events_form1' post 'events/form2'=> 'events#form2', :as => 'events_form2' post 'events/form3'=> 'events#form3', :as => 'events_form3' 

these controller actions process data forms. user never going need access these actions url wanted this:

post 'events#form1' 

and then, in form, write

<%= simple_form_for :something, :url => url_for{:controller => 'events', :action => 'form1'}, :method => "post" |f| %> 

this doesn't work because rails complains route invalid. possible have route without url? if not, how can clean routes file?

the simple_form_for call still needs url, if users never use directly.

you can kind of see in code itself, in 1 of options you're sending simple_form_for option url use:

:url => url_for{:controller => 'events', :action => 'form1'}
