Rails routes based on current user - ruby-on-rails

I followed this rails cast to create authentication for a rails project. My routes currently look like this:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :messages
get "log_out" => "sessions#destroy", :as => "log_out"
get "log_in" => "sessions#new", :as => "log_in"
get "sign_up" => "users#new", :as => "sign_up"
get "new_photo" => "users#edit", :as => "new_photo"
root :to => "users#new"
resources :users
resources :sessions
end
How to I edit this file so that the root will be pointing to "messages#new", if a user is logged in and "users#new" when no user is logged in? I tried many of the solutions on other pages, but they didnt work (they were probably for devise). Thanks for the help!

You'll probably want to handle this in your controller.
routes.rb
root :to => "users#new"
users_controller.rb
def new
return redirect_to new_messages_url if current_user
# normal controller code below...
end
This will redirect the logged_in user (current_user) to the new messages page if already logged in. I'm just assuming that current_user holds your user data, it may be different for your application.

write it in any home controler.
def set_roots
if current_user
redirect_to dashboard_home_index_path
else
redirect_to home_index_path
end
end
in routes.rb file
root :to => 'home#set_roots'
match "/find_roots" => "home#set_roots"

device change password form not showing

I googled it but not got solution. I cant see change password form. (edit_user_password_path) it shows the message "you are already logged in" (Most probably flash[:error] and redirects to dashboard page. I am using rails 4 and device 3.5
User is my device model and I am using users controller as well (extend from ApplicationController) as I want to handle CRUD operations on User on my own. I am not using :registerable module of device.
my routes file looks like
devise_for :users, :path => 'u'
resources :users do
get 'manage_resource'
post 'manage_resource'
get 'profile'
end
Add the below snippet to your routes.rb file
devise_for :users, :skip => [:registrations]
as :user do
get 'users/edit' => 'devise/registrations#edit', :as => 'edit_user_registration'
put 'users' => 'devise/registrations#update', :as => 'user_registration' end
You should then be able to access edit_user_registration_path

No Route Matches ... Rails Engine

So I keep getting the error:
No route matches {:action=>"create", :controller=>"xaaron/api_keys"}
Which is thrown in the test:
it "should not create an api key for those not logged in" do
post :create
expect(response).to redirect_to xaaron.login_path
end
when I go to spec/dummy and run the rake routes command I see:
api_keys GET /api_keys(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#index
POST /api_keys(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#create
new_api_key GET /api_keys/new(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#new
edit_api_key GET /api_keys/:id/edit(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#edit
api_key GET /api_keys/:id(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#show
PATCH /api_keys/:id(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#update
PUT /api_keys/:id(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#update
DELETE /api_keys/:id(.:format) xaaron/api_keys#destroy
Which shows that yes this route does exist. My routes file for this engine looks like:
Xaaron::Engine.routes.draw do
get 'login' => 'sessions#new', :as => 'login'
get 'logout' => 'sessions#destroy', :as => 'logout'
get 'signup' => 'users#new', :as => 'signup'
get 'permission_denied' => 'error#denied', :as => 'permission_denied'
get 'record_not_found' => 'error#error', :as => 'record_not_found'
get 'password_reset' => 'password_resets#edit', :as => 'rest_user_password'
resource :error, controller: 'error'
resources :users
resources :api_keys
resources :sessions
resources :roles
resources :password_resets
end
What am I missing?
update
For those of you curious how I am getting these routes, its because the dummy app's routes file is set up (by default) as such:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
mount Xaaron::Engine => "/xaaron"
end
Update II
I have been reading this api docs on how routing is done in engines and I believe the way I have done this is correct, how ever the controller is defined as such:
module Xaaron
class ApiKeysController < ActionController::Base
before_action :authenticate_user!
def index
#api_key = Xaaron::ApiKey.where(:user_id => current_user.id)
end
def create
#api_key = Xaaron::ApiKey.new(:user_id => current_user.id, :api_key => SecureRandom.hex(16))
create_api_key(#api_key)
end
def destroy
Xaaron::ApiKey.find(params[:id]).destroy
flash[:notice] = 'Api Key has been deleted.'
redirect_to xarron.api_keys_path
end
end
end
You need to tell your spec you are using the engine routes:
describe ApiKeysController do
routes { Xaaron::Engine.routes }
it "should not create an api key for those not logged in" do
post :create
expect(response).to redirect_to xaaron.login_path
end
end

Application Helper Methods Availability

I am using Rails 4 and am trying to include the koudoku stripe gem. Here is my routes:
# Added by Koudoku.
mount Koudoku::Engine, at: 'koudoku'
scope module: 'koudoku' do
get 'pricing' => 'subscriptions#index', as: 'pricing'
end
resource :account
devise_for :users, :skip => [:sessions]
as :user do
get '/login' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :new_user_session
post '/login' => 'devise/sessions#create', :as => :user_session
get '/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', :as => :destroy_user_session
end
get '/dashboard', to: 'dashboard#index'
get '/reports/generate', to: 'reports#generate'
authenticated :user do
root :to => 'dashboard#index', :as => :authenticated_root
end
root :to => redirect('/login')
And this is the error I am getting:
undefined local variable or method `root_url
I can access the other routes just fine, it is just trying to render the Application Helper methods (for instance, a custom app method I have defined, or routes methods) from the module routes... Does this make sense? How do I fix this?
Try adding "main_app." before your root path. For example:
main_app.root_path
Conditional logic in the routing layer kind of goes against the intent of the Rails MVC architecture. The route file should just map a web request to a controller, which then has conditional logic to determine what is displayed.
In this case it's a bit different since you want to redirect, but I personally would still put it in the controller. In other words send the root to dashboard#index, and then at the top of that controller (or in a before_filter) just do
redirect_to login_path unless current_user_authenticated?
(here I'm assuming you would have a named route for login, which would be good practice, as well as a current_user_authenticated? method to check whatever logic you want before the redirect. This would be a more Rails-y approach, whatever that's worth...)

Rails: Define routes manually after modifying to_param

I have been trying to implement a vanity url for user profiles, based on the example here: Rails 3: Permalink public profile. I have replaced the 'id' with username:
def to_param
username
end
However this has caused issues with my other routes. I have set them so that they match the default sets of routes exactly, when running 'rake routes'.
get '/users/' => 'users#index', :as => :users
post '/users' => 'users#create'
get '/users/new' => 'users#new', :as => :new_user
get '/users/:id/edit' => 'users#edit', :as => :edit_user
patch '/users/:id' => 'users#update'
put '/users/:id' => 'users#update'
delete '/users/:id' => 'users#destroy'
# for vanity url
get '/:id' => 'users#show', :as => :user
With this setup, trying to access delete and update routes give me 'no route matches' error. What is the proper way to specify these, and / or should I be doing this a different way? Any help is appreciated.
I think it's interresting and more readable to keep the resources syntax in the routes.rb, except for the show, which you can rewrite to customize user_path :
resources :users, :except => [:show]
# 2 possibilities for the show url
get '/users/:id' => 'users#show' # can be removed if you don't want to keep /users/:id url
get '/:id' => 'users#show', :as => :user
But change the controller to find user by username instead of id, for example
def show
#post = Post.find_by_username(params[:id]) # instead of Post.find(params[:id])
# ...
end

Devise: Routes & after_sign_in

I'm overriding the default Devise signin method as such:
def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
stored_location_for(resource) || jobs_path
end
So that when an authenticated users signs in, they are taken to my jobs page. Which is fine,
but the problem I'm having is that I'd like to be able to utilize the Devise password (new/edit) pages, typically found at /users/password/new and /users/password/edit but when I attempt to go to those locations (http://localhost:3000/users/password/new), I get immediately redirected back to jobs page. What do I need to do to correct this. Below is part of my routes.rb if that helps:
devise_for :users, :skip => [:sessions] do
# devise/sessions
get 'signin' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :new_user_session
post 'signin' => 'devise/sessions#create', :as => :user_session
get 'signout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', :as => :destroy_user_session
end
resources :users
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
The devise wiki says that users can edit their password using the registerable module:
https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Allow-users-to-edit-their-password
Have you tried just using devises methods for letting users change their password?
