Devise redirect back to the original location after sign in or sign up?

Question

Here I\'m using Devise Gem for authentication. If someone want to open page without login then it redirect to sign_in page and after signed in it back to the page which user

Answer 1

As pointed out in the official documentation, the simpler solution would be to simply add this to your application_controller.rb:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base


private

# If your model is called User
def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  session["user_return_to"] || root_path
end

Important Note (Which I also overlooked) is that for this to work you will need to call authenticate_user! method, available by default in Devise, in your controller's before_action:. This will call store_location_for available out of the box in Devise, and the rest is handled by the above code in the application_controller.rb, thus eliminating the need to rewrite code to save requesting url.
