Determine current route name in Rails

route_name.rb

def route_name
  Rails.application.routes.recognize(request) { |route, _| route.name }.flatten.last.name.to_sym
end

Rails.application.routes.router.recognize(request) do |route, matches, param|
  route.name
end

@Hakon thanks man. I updated the gist :)

Or you could just do an explicit return from inside the block

  def route_name
    Rails.application.routes.router.recognize(request) do |route, _|
      return route.name.to_sym
    end
  end

In ruby you do not need use return. Last line is return line ;)

explicit return is needed because

Rails.application.routes.router.recognize(request)

returns a set of nested arrays and not the value of the block. It is also the last executed line in the route_name method.
