Devise routing: is there a way to remove a route from Rails.application.routes?

Question

devise_for creates routes including a DELETE route, which we want to remove, and devise_for doesn\'t support an :except or :only

Answer 1

Actually devise_for does support :skip and :only, for example (docs):

devise_for :user, :skip => :registration

This will skip all the registration controller's routes, rather than one specifically. You could then implement the routes you need. This seems cleaner than removing the route after the fact.

UPDATE:

Another possible solution is to use Rails' advanced constraints feature to block the unwanted route completely:

# config/routes.rb
constraints lambda {|req| req.url =~ /users/ && req.delete? ? false : true} do
  devise_for :users
end

Here is a post on using lambdas for route constraints. The request object is explained here. This might be the simplest solution.
