Rails render route path

Question

Im still new to Rails and have a hard time understanding how the path system works in Rails.

In my routes.rb i create an alias for signup:

match \'signup         


        

Answer 1

Try adding the ":as" to you route like this:

match 'signup' => 'user#new', :as => :signup

and then do

redirect_to signup_url

in your controller.

That worked for me. I still don't know why. Maybe someone else has an explanation.
