Question

I’m trying to make a link in a page to another show page

here’s the code for the link:

    <%= link_to c.name, companies_path(:id => c.id) %> # c is the name of my model object

here is the route I’ve set for the show page:

    match '/companies/:id', to: 'companies#show'

when I type the url '/companies/:id' it takes me to the show page like I want but when I click the link it creates '/companies.":id"' instead.

Answer 1

I’m assuming that c is a company object that you’re trying to link to – you should be able to link to the page you’re looking for using companies_path(c), or even just c, like so:

<%= link_to c.name, companies_path(c) %>
<%= link_to c.name, c %>
