Adding Hash parameter in the URL Rails Routes

How to add a hash parameter in link_to. I need to generate a URL something like this..

/p/generate/#sometext

This is how my code looks now.

link_to "Click",my_path

How to add the hash parameter to my routes method.

Now for the answer

When I posted the question, I didn't got through the url helpers API fully. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to

I did now. :) .I found the answer.

link_to "Click", my_path(:anchor => "sometext")

M.cypher below almost got it. :)

Solution 1:

This is how you would usually do it:

link_to 'Click', my_path(anchor: 'sometext')

Your routes don't have much to do with it, since the anchor part (#something) is not transferred to the server, it's a pure client-side thing.

Solution 2:

I recognize this is an old post, but I thought I would contribute my recent discovery:

<%= link_to "New Person", polymorphic_path([:new, person], anchor: "profile") %>

See the API Docs for details.
