Named Routes

Let’s put the named routes created in Section 5.3.2 to work in our layout. This will entail filling in the second arguments of the link_to functions with the proper named routes. For example, we’ll convert

to

and so on.

              We’ll start in the header partial, _header.html.erb (Listing 5.24), which has links to the Home and Help pages. While we’re at it, we’ll follow a common web convention and link the logo to the Home page as well.  

We won’t have a named route for the ‘‘Sign in’’ link until Chapter 8, so we’ve left it as ’#’ for now.

             The other place with links is the footer partial, _footer.html.erb, which has links for the About and Contact pages (Listing 5.25).
