Question

I have a call like this:

<%= product.categories.map{|cat| cat.name}.join(', ').to_s + "." %>

What I would like to do, is something like this:

<%= product.categories.map{|cat| link_to cat.name, category_path(cat)}.join(', ').to_s + "." %>

When I do that, it actually spits out the path /categories/1 as text and doesn’t actually make it a link.

How do I generate the actual link within this block?

Thanks.

Edit: Anyone have any ideas about how to do this?

Answer 1

I need to wrap the entire map result in raw like this:

<%= raw(@product.categories.map{ |cat| raw(link_to(cat.name, category_path(cat))) }.join(', ') + ".") %>
