Instance Method Details

#url_for(options = {}, extra_params = {}) ⇒ Object

Generate a URL based on the base_url. This allows us to generate URLs without needing a controller handy, so we can produce URLs from within models where appropriate.

It also caches the result in the Rails cache, so repeated URL generation requests should be fast, as they bypass all of Rails’ route logic.
