Rails: Redirect after sign in with Devise

Question

Is it possible to redirect users to different pages (based on role) after signing in with Devise? It only seems to redirect to the root :to => ... page defined in routes.rb

Answer 1

https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/wiki/How-To:-Redirect-to-a-specific-page-on-successful-sign-in,-sign-up,-or-sign-out

I used example 1:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception

  before_action :authenticate_user!

  protected

  def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    current_user.is_a?(Admin) ? admin_tests_path : (stored_location_for(resource) || root_path)
  end
end

Answer 2

By default Devise does route to root after it's actions. There is a nice article about overriding these actions on the Devise Wiki, https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Redirect-to-a-specific-page-on-successful-sign-in

Or you can go even farther by setting stored_locations_for(resource) to nil, and then have different redirects for each action, ie: after_sign_up_path(resource), after_sign_in_path(resource) and so on.

Here's what I believe is the answer you are looking for from the devise wiki:

How To: Change the default sign_in and sign_out routes

Answer 4

You can simply add this method to your application controller:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  user_path(current_user) # your path
end

Answer 5

You can use the below code in the application controller or any controller where you need to do the operation:

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
    users_path
end

Answer 6

Devise has a helper method after_sign_in_path_for which can be used to override the default Devise route to root after login/sign-in.

To implement a redirect to another path after login, simply add this method to your application controller.

#class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  users_path
end

Where users_path is the path that you want it to redirect to, User is the model name that corresponds to the model for Devise.

Note: If you used Admin as your model name for Devise, then it will be

#class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  admins_path
end

Also, if you generated controllers for Devise, then you can define this in the sessions controller, say, your Devise model is Admin, you can define this in the app/controllers/admins/sessions_controller.rb file to route to the dashboard_index_path:

# app/controllers/admins/sessions_controller.rb'

def after_sign_in_path_for(resource)
  dashboard_index_path
end

And in the registrations controller - app/controllers/admins/registrations_controller.rb file:

# app/controllers/admins/registrations_controller.rb

def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
  dashboard_index_path
end

That's all.

I hope this helps
