When should I nest routes in the devise_for
block? Please give one or two examples to show the use case. (Routes #1)
If :foo_object
is associated with :users
so :user
has_one :foo_object
, do I need to nest :foo_object
under :users
? (Routes #2) :users
is the devise :users
model.
Routes #1:
devise_for :users
resource :foo_object
Routes #2:
devise_for :users
resources :users do
resource :foo_object
end
The following example:
devise_for :users, :path => 'accounts'
resources :users do
resources :orders
end
The above means that the authentication path would be "/accounts/sign_in"
, "/accounts_sign_up"
etc.. Some may not know that it is important to acknowledge that the devise_for :users
doesn't actually map to the UsersController
and the model. Its not even a resource route, even though many beleive it looks like it. Which is why we can't treat it like the following:
devise_for :users do
resources: somereosouce
end
All devise_for
does is map the following routes:
# Session routes for Authenticatable (default)
new_user_session GET /users/sign_in {:controller=>"devise/sessions", :action=>"new"}
user_session POST /users/sign_in {:controller=>"devise/sessions", :action=>"create"}
destroy_user_session GET /users/sign_out {:controller=>"devise/sessions", :action=>"destroy"}
# Password routes for Recoverable, if User model has :recoverable configured
new_user_password GET /users/password/new(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/passwords", :action=>"new"}
edit_user_password GET /users/password/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/passwords", :action=>"edit"}
user_password PUT /users/password(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/passwords", :action=>"update"}
POST /users/password(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/passwords", :action=>"create"}
# Confirmation routes for Confirmable, if User model has :confirmable configured
new_user_confirmation GET /users/confirmation/new(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/confirmations", :action=>"new"}
user_confirmation GET /users/confirmation(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/confirmations", :action=>"show"}
POST /users/confirmation(.:format) {:controller=>"devise/confirmations", :action=>"create"}
So in saying that you could do the following but would have some conflicts:
devise_for :users
resource :users do
resource :foo_object
end
A little bit on nested resources, if you have something like the following:
class Users < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :foo_object
end
class FooObject < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :users
end
Then your nested resource would be
resource :users do
resource :foo_object
end
Hopefully this clears things up. Also you may want to have a read of Nested Resource with Devise - Rails3
