Rails 5 - how to establish routes for namespaced models - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to learn how to use namespaced models in my Rails 5 app so as to better organise my content.
I have an address model. It is polymorphic. Each of Settings and Organisation have many addresses. Settings is a model which is namespaced under user.
The associations are
User
has_one :setting, dependent: :destroy
Setting
belongs_to :user
has_many :addresses, as: :addressable#, class_name: Address
accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses, reject_if: :all_blank, allow_destroy: true
Organisation
has_many :addresses, as: :addressable#, class_name: Address
accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses, reject_if: :all_blank, allow_destroy: true
Address
belongs_to :addressable, :polymorphic => true, optional: true
Routes - organisation
resources :organisations do
namespace :contacts do
resources :addresses
resources :phones
end
end
Routes - setting
resources :users, shallow: true do
scope module: :users do
resources :identities
resources :settings do
namespace :contacts do
resources :addresses
resources :phones
end
end
end
end
Organisation form
<%= f.simple_fields_for :addresses do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= render 'contacts/addresses/address_fields', f: f %>
<% end %>
<%= link_to_add_association 'Add another address', f, :addresses, partial: 'contacts/addresses/address_fields' %>
user / setting form
<%= simple_form_for [#user, #setting] do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= simple_fields_for :addresses do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= render 'contacts/addresses/address_fields', f: f %>
<% end %>
<%= link_to_add_association 'Manage address', f, :addresses, partial: 'contacts/addresses/address_fields' %>
</div>
<% end %>
Everything about my address functionality works fine for Organisation, but I have a problem in getting it to work for my settings.
The problem I have when I try to use the user/setting form to add an address is that I get an error that says:
ActionController::RoutingError at /contacts/addresses/1/edit
uninitialized constant Users::Contacts
There isn't a direct association between user and contacts. Contacts is the name of the namespaced folder I use to store my address views and controller.
Can anyone see what I need to do in order to be able to access the address form functionality from my user settings form?
When I rake routes for setting, I can see the path format to get settings address, but I can't figure out how to use it.
rake routes | grep setting
setting_contacts_addresses GET /settings/:setting_id/contacts/addresses(.:format) users/contacts/addresses#index
POST /settings/:setting_id/contacts/addresses(.:format) users/contacts/addresses#create
new_setting_contacts_address GET /settings/:setting_id/contacts/addresses/new(.:format) users/contacts/addresses#new

I don't quite understand what you're trying to accomplish. These codes below allow you to create a new setting for an user. You can add more addresses to that setting. If you want to edit an address'name, you have to go to the edit page of the setting that address belongs to.
routes.rb
resources :users, shallow: true do
scope module: :users do
resources :settings
end
end
users/settings_controller.rb
class Users::SettingsController < ApplicationController
before_action :prepare_user, only: [:index, :new, :create]
before_action :prepare_setting, only: [:show, :edit, :update]
def new
#setting = Setting.new
end
def create
#setting = #user.build_setting(setting_params)
if #setting.save
redirect_to #setting
else
render 'new'
end
end
def show
end
def edit
end
def update
if #setting.update(setting_params)
redirect_to #setting
else
render 'edit'
end
end
private
def prepare_user
#user = User.find(params[:user_id])
end
def prepare_setting
#setting = Setting.find(params[:id])
end
def setting_params
params.require(:setting).permit(:name, addresses_attributes: [:name, :id])
end
end
users/settings/new.html.erb
<h1>New Setting</h1>
<%= render 'form' %>
users/settings/_form.html.erb
<%= simple_form_for [#user, #setting] do |f| %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<div>
<%= f.simple_fields_for :addresses do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= render 'contacts/addresses/address_fields', f: f %>
<% end %>
