For GET requests - When do you create a new endpoint and when would you use a query param for the backend to decide what data to give back?
I use has_scope and it's typically handled in the index with querystring filters e.g. ?user=1 (or ?users[]=1 if multiple users). I do also add convenience routes for common filters, though, e.g. /users/1/likes.

Building an Advanced Search Form in Rails 6
You can use gems like Ransack to build search forms much faster, but for the purpose of learning and performance we will be building this feature ourselves. Throughout the process, you will also learn how to customize Rails default pluralization. By the end, we will be able to search for Pokemon by name, type, and region.
