Question

How to add a hash parameter in link_to. I need to generate a URL something like this..

/p/generate/#sometext

This is how my code looks now.

link_to "Click",my_path

How to add the hash parameter to my routes method.

Now for the answer

When I posted the question, I didn’t got through the url helpers API fully.
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to

I did now. 🙂 .I found the answer.

link_to "Click", my_path(:anchor => "sometext")

M.cypher below almost got it. 🙂

Answer 1

This is how you would usually do it:

link_to 'Click', my_path(anchor: 'sometext')

Your routes don’t have much to do with it, since the anchor part (#something) is not transferred to the server, it’s a pure client-side thing.
