You can get the information on routes as follows: 

Rails.application.routes.recognize_path("/", { :method => :get })

This will give you the controller, action and params. From that you can build the path names easily, if that's what you want.

If you want a list of all the named_routes helpers:

Rails.application.routes.named_routes.helpers
