In Ruby on Rails, routes.rb, if we create a “named route”
map.something ":a/:b", :controller => 'foobar'
it will also create something_path and something_url which are two methods usable in the controller and in the view. Does map.connect create something like that too? Otherwise, isn’t map.connect somewhat disadvantaged in this way? I checked that connect_path and connect_url both aren’t created automatically.
You are correct in your thinking.
map.connectdoes not createsomething_pathandsomething_url. This is the purpose of named routes likemap.something: To create “names,” hence the name “named routes.”
