Is there a method to extract just the last word from the URL example

  • 0

Is there a method to extract just the last word from the URL example below? I would like to be able to use this as a heading on a page, i.e the “Account” page.

I found that by using request.path it will give me the path without the root but I’m not sure how to get just the last path name.

    Try:

    request.path.split('/').last
    

    If you want “Account” (instead of “account”), call the capitalize method on the result.
