How do I retrieve the path of a route?

Question

Given the following Router setup:

App.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('posts', function() {
    this.route('new');
    this.resource('post', { path: ':post_id' }, function() {
      this.route('edit');
    });
  });
});

Is it possible to obtain the path of a route?

Fictitious example:

App.Router.get('path', 'posts.new'); //=> "/posts/new"

Or with a model like:

App.Router.get('path', 'post.edit', model); //=> "/posts/1/edit"

Maybe you wanna take a look into the source. The LinkView implements that – Countess

Try this in your console/dev tools:

App.Router.router.generate(['posts.new']);

this should output:

/posts/new

And with a model:

App.Router.router.generate(['post.edit'], postModel);

will output

/posts/1/edit

Just keep in mind this might not generate urls for dynamic routes without the actual object (it has nothing to serialize!). – Countess

Yes, that works! And if you want to add a model, just pass it as a second parameter. App.Router.router.generate(['post.edit'], postModel); Thanks guys =] – Shellashellac

Where is the documentation for this? I can't find it. – Stealthy
