How to get url of object in controller

Question

I've got a Product model.

How do I get the url of a product in Rails 3, in a controller.

For example (pseudo code):

def foobar   @product = Product.first   puts @product.url end 

Is such a thing possible?

Answer 1

Assuming the Product model is mapped as :resources in your routes.rb file:

def foobar   @product = Product.first   url = product_url(@product) end
