# $generatePath

## Introduction

`$generatePath(string routeName, Object params = {}) : string`

The **$generatePath** instance method makes it possible to [generate](/ejs/1.3/guide/routing/path-generation.md) the absolute path to any [route](/ejs/1.3/guide/routing/routes.md) using its name and [parameters](/ejs/1.3/guide/routing/routes.md#parameters).  Using this method ensures all links are automatically updated whenever a route is changed.

Alternatively, you may use a [view link](/ejs/1.3/guide/routing/view-links.md) within your component templates to generate routes declaratively.
