Adding Hash parameter in the URL Rails Routes

Question

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.

Answer 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.

Answer 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.
