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.

I’m not sure how you’d accomplish your goal right now but wanted to point out that the
@moduledoc falseat 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 v1.20.2benwilson512
You can also use
applyhere to call a path function dynamically:thiagomajesk
@axelson Yes, I’m aware of that. Thanks for the heads up though
.
@benwilson512 Nice! I think this will work for me. I guess, having to append the “path” portion is a minor inconvenience, but I think I could do something like this:
Thanks for the help guys, cheers!
