rails-routes: List all routes in an expanded format.
$ rails routes --expanded
try on your machine

The command "rails routes --expanded" is used in Ruby on Rails to display a detailed list of all available routes in your Rails application.

The "rails routes" command on its own displays a concise list of routes defined in your application's "config/routes.rb" file. It shows the HTTP verb, URL pattern, controller, and action for each route.

Adding the "--expanded" option to the command instructs Rails to provide additional information about the routes. This includes details about route constraints, requirements, and their specified names.

The expanded routes list can be useful when you need to troubleshoot or get a more comprehensive understanding of your application's routing configuration.
