Rails: friendly_id

Question

I'm using friendly_id gem in my app. How can I get object's friendly id? When I write @post.id I get 1 but how can I get first_post instead?

friendly_id used to change your app urls to http://example.com/states/washington instead of: http://example.com/states/4323454 ,what do you mean of first_post ? — Remon Amin, Feb 02 '14 at 21:10

There should a method called friendly_id

@post.id # => 1
@post.friendly_id # => first_post

Hope this helps

Alternative to @post.friendly_id:

@post.slug # => first_post
