Get current path name in Rails

I would like to be able to get the name of the current route in a request in Ruby on Rails. I've found ways I can access the controller and action of the request, but I would like to access a string or symbol of the name.

For example, if I have a users resource;

I simply want to retrieve the name of the current route on a given request.

I had to use request.original_fullpath (Rails 5.2)

You can use the current_page? method to achieve this.

current_page?(user_path(@user))
current_page?(edit_user_path(@user))

Here's a link: current_page? method

The following code will give it to you. 

Rails.application.routes.recognize_path(request.request_uri)

Note that there are a couple of exceptions that can get thrown in ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet (which is what is returned from Rails.application.routes) so be careful about those. You can find the implementation of the method here.

You can use the following methods to get the current url in your action but none of them will give you the name of the route like users_path

request.original_url # => www.mysite.com/users/1

request.request_uri # = > /users/1
