How do I use HAML in a dynamic link?

haml, ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3

Solution

You should probably use something like this:

= link_to("Last updated on #{@last_data.date_from.month}", "/member/abc/def?month=#{Time.now.month}&range=xyz&year=#{Time.now.year}")

Note that in the second string, it's necessary to change the `'` to `"`. Also if the link text is getting long, you can use something like this:

= link_to("/member/abc/def?month=#{Time.now.month}&range=xyz&year=#{Time.now.year}") do
  Last updated on #{@last_data.date_from.month}

Problem

I am trying to create a link using HAML which looks like the this ``` =link_to("Last updated on<%=@last_data.date_from.month %>",'/member/abc/def?month={Time.now.month}&range=xyz&year={Time.now.year}') ``` It is not taking the Ruby code and it is displaying that as a string Last updated on<%=@last_data.date_from.month %> and in the URL as well it is not taking the function `Time.now.month` or `Time.now.year` . How do I pass Ruby code in URL and in the string ?
