Access public files in Rails

Question

I want to access the file /public/images/dog.jpg in a Rails project. Is there some kind of url that would access it?

I tried public/images/dog.jpg and images/dog.jpg , but that didn't work.

Answer 1

images/dog.jpg correct.

However, I would use the image_path URL image_path , for example. image_path('dog.jpg') .
