Map.login

Rails
1

In the Rails guides, under “Named Routes”, it mentions the following:

map.login ‘/login’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘new’

So, do I conclude that .login in map.login is “built-in” Rails, and
where used it denotes that a login form will be requested here?

Thanks.

This is just a named route, no more, no less. Nothing built-in, no
magic, just a name for the route.
That will give you a “/login” route wich points to
SessionsController#new (the “new” action in the “sessions” controller)

Thanks a lot.

But, if we say, map.connect (Regular route), this has a specific
meaning. Right? Is map.connect the http://www.xyz.com part for example?

Thanks.
