title: Rails: how do you access RESTful helpers?
body: <p>I'm trying to work through this <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing_outside_in.html" rel="noreferrer">guide to Rails routing</a>, but I got stuck in section <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing_outside_in.html#_urls_and_paths" rel="noreferrer">3.3</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Creating a RESTful route will also make available a pile of helpers within your application</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and then they list some helpers like <code>photos_url</code>, <code>photos_path</code>, etc.</p>
  
  <p>My questions:</p>
  
  <p>Where can I find the complete list of helpers that is "made available?"</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to call the helpers in the console? I created an app, then opened up the console with <code>script/console</code>. I tried to call one of the helpers on the console like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt; entries_url
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NameError: undefined local variable or method `entries_url' for #&lt;Object:0x349a4&gt;
      from (irb):8
  </code></pre>
