+### Retrieving the path of a registered handler
+
+Once a handler is registered with the router, you can retrieve its path with the `PathFor` method:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+  // Creates a gin router with default middleware:
+  // logger and recovery (crash-free) middleware
+  router := gin.Default()
+
+  getUser := func(c *Context) {
+    // Handle the GET request.
+  }
+  router.GET("/users/:name", getUser)
+  path := router.PathFor(getUser, ":name", "gopher")
+
+  print(path) // Prints /users/gopher
+
+  router.Run()
+}
+router := gin.Default()
