Submitted by uday on September 25, 2020 - 3:29pm

We can get the route information in 2 ways.

1. From the terminal, run following command from the project home folder.

$rake routes

2. Form the browser, go to path rails/info/routes

http://localhost:3000/rails/info/routes

Reading from the browser is convenient if you are developing on Windows machine and grep command is not available.

-Redirect is a method that is used to issue the error message in case the page is not found or it issues a 302 to the browser. Whereas, render is a method used to create the content.

-Redirect is used to tell the browser to issue a new request. Whereas, render only works in case the controller is being set up properly with the variables that needs to be rendered.

-Redirect is used when the user needs to redirect its response to some other page or URL. Whereas, render method renders a page and generate a code of 200.
