How to structure authenticated routes when using Devise?

Question

In my question How to have root view when user is not logged in rails? max answered that we can use authenticated to make routes available only when someone is

Answer 1

Here is the simple way to structure authenticated and unauthenticated routes.

In app/controllers/application_controller.rb, add "before_action :authenticate_user!".

My app/controllers/application_controller.rb file:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

protect_from_forgery with: :exception

before_action :authenticate_user!
end

My config/routes.rb:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users
  root "home#index"
  devise_for :users, controllers: {
                       :sessions => "users/sessions",
                       :registrations => "users/registrations" }
  authenticated :user do
      resources :students
  end



unauthenticated :user do
  #Some route
  end

end
