Question

If I have an action Application.show(tag: String), and also have a corresponding routing entry, how can I insert a link to this action to a template without crafting the url manually?

I would like to do something like magiclink(Application.show("tag")).

Answer 1

syntax:

<a href='@routes.Application.show("some")'>My link with some string</a>

By analogy you can also generate urls in your controllers. ie. for redirecting after some action:

public static Result justRedirect(){

    // use as String
    String urlOfShow = routes.Application.index().toString().

    // or pass as a redirect() arg
    return redirect(routes.Application.show("some"));
}
