If you have a scope in your routes.rb file such as:
scope "/account" do
resources :items
end
How can you determine if the current page is in the 'account' section? Meaning the following items would be considered in the 'accounts' section?
/account/items
/account/item/1
/account/item/1/edit
I know this is possible by performing string comparisons on request variables but was curious if there is a 'rails way' of determining this information.
Thanks for any input.

TIP: If you ever want to list all the routes of your application you can use rails routes on your terminal and if you want to list routes of a specific resource, you can use rails routes | grep hotel . This will list all the routes of Hotel.
rake routes will list all of your defined routes, which is useful for tracking down routing problems in your app, or giving you a good overview of the URLs in an app you're trying to get familiar with.
The Rails router is responsible for redirecting incoming requests to controller actions. The routing module provides URL rewriting in native Ruby. It recognizes URLs and dispatches them as defined in config/routes.
Routing decides which controller receives which requests. Often, there is more than one route to each controller, and different routes can be served by different actions. Each action's purpose is to collect information to provide it to a view.
I had the same problem just now.. What I did is add a parameter to the scope:
scope '/me', me_scope: true do
# ...
end
This way I can look it up in the controller:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
def me_scope?
params[:me_scope].eql? true
end
end
Not the cleanest solution, but it works..
