Using named routes in a model

Rails
1

I have searched this list for an answer, can’t find one.

Does anybody know a way to use named routes (or url_for, if need be) to
generate a url that i can use for a Model? The generated convenience
methods, even url_for itself, seem to only be available in
ActionController
and ActionView.

Thanks,

Lee

That is quite right, because models aren’t supposed to know about
URLs. Models encapsulate business rules, URLs are controller/view
elements. What you probably want is a helper.
