rails-routes: List all routes.

rails

$ rails routes

try on your machine

The command "rails routes" is used in Ruby on Rails to display all available routes in your Rails application. It shows a list of all routes that have been defined in the routes.rb file, which is located in the config directory of your Rails application.

By running "rails routes" in the terminal, you can see a table containing information about each route, including its HTTP verb (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), URL pattern, controller and action that's responsible for handling the request, and the name of the route.

This command is particularly helpful for debugging and understanding the routing configuration of your Rails application. It allows you to quickly check the available routes, their associated actions, and the corresponding URLs. It provides an overview of your application's routes and helps in troubleshooting and ensuring that the defined routes are correctly mapped to the appropriate controllers and actions.
