Have you ever wondered what is difference between _path and _url in Ruby on Rails?

For example root_path and root_url. As it turns out, _path only returns the url relative to your domain.

For instance, root_path returns / while root_url returns http://mydomain.com/.

You should always use _url for redirects and _path for hyperlinks unless you have a good reason not to do so.

So far so good, That’s it! See ya! :)
