User defined URL in rails

I have a link button in an application

  = link_to "Hello" , :controller => "pages" , :action => "home"

On a click of this link the generated url is "localhost:3000/pages/home". But i want, the url should be displayed like=> "localhost:3000/hello" Is there any way in rails to do this?

You could also try this

resources :pages do
  collection do
    get :hello
  end
end

you can name URL as you want, and can mapped in routes.rb. In your case you can use match Here is the example:

in your route.rb
match 'hello' => 'pages#home', :as => :hello

Now in link_to "hello", home_path You can find more options in documentaion

You could set up a named route:

match 'hello' => 'pages#home', :as => :hello

In your view:

= link_to "Hello", hello_path
