Use a layout for a specific action

Question

If I would like to use a layout for a certain action (say, the show action) that is different from the layout declared at the top of the controller.rb file, how could I do t

Answer 1

Following example applies desired layout to specific action, otherwise, it uses default layout (layouts/application.html.erb).

class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
   layout "article_editor", only: [:new, :edit]

   def index
     # default layout
   end

   def new
     # article_editor layout
   end

   def edit
     # article_editor layout
   end
end
