How to generate links with trailing slash in Rails 3?

ruby-on-rails ruby ruby-on-rails-3 url slash

You can add this to your application.rb:

config.action_controller.default_url_options = { :trailing_slash => true }

This way all routes will be generated with a trailing slash automatically, with no need to modify each link in your project.

ruby-on-rails ruby ruby-on-rails-3 url slash

Simply do as follows:

link_to 'Companies', companies_path(:trailing_slash => true)

ruby-on-rails ruby ruby-on-rails-3 url slash

I couldn't find any references, but adding trainling_slash: true to the route definition also works (and avoids repeating oneself).

get 'companies/' => 'companies#index', :as => :companies, :trailing_slash => true

This was tested with Rails 3.2.13:

rails c1.9.3p327 :005 > app.companies_path=> "http://www.example.com/companies/
