hyperlink in ruby on rails

Question

This is something probably trivial but i can't quite find my way round it:

How do i add a hyperlink from one ruby-file.html.erb to another please?

Answer 1

Ruby uses something called routes. You can create named routes for some operations or you can use resource routes (autogenerated CRUD per resource).

For example if you have route for a model called Car, then calling

link_to "Edit my car", edit_car_path(@car)

in your view will generate a link.

remember that your are linking to a controller action in model/view/controller and not to pages
