Dynamically call/ build routes without using path helpers
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if it’s possible to call/ build routes without using the named path helpers, something like:
Router.Helpers.path(Endpoint, :page, :show, 1234)
Router.Helpers.path(@conn, :page, :show, 1234)
# Instead of:
# Router.Helpers.page_path(Endpoint, :show, 1234)
# Router.Helpers.page_path(@conn, :show, 1234)
PS.: I’m aware that there’s a path function in the Router.Helpers, but I’m not sure if it’s used for a similar purpose or it’s only internal - I couldn’t find any documentation.

You can also use apply here to call a path function dynamically:
path = :page_path
apply(Router.Helpers, path, [:show, 1234])

I’m not sure how you’d accomplish your goal right now but wanted to point out that the @moduledoc false at the top of that module indicates that it is a private api and that you should not directly call it because it may break in patch-level updates to the library: Writing documentation — Elixir v1.20.2
