Rails Devise redirect after User edits their password

Question

I am trying to change the path after the user changes his password following the guide on the devise documentation: Customize-the-redirect-after-a-user-edits-their-profile

Right now, I know that I have to create my own RegistrationController like

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected
  def after_update_path_for(resource)
    user_path(resource)
  end
end

and change the path to

def after_update_path_for(resource)
  dashboard_path
end

I created the Registration Model with

rails g controller Registrations  

and moved it to the app/controllers folder

Now it says that I should also configure the routes like

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => :registrations }

I am not really familiar with writing routes like that since I only use resources:, so i tried

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => 'dashboard#show' }

which gave me the error:

'dashboards#show' is not a supported controller name. This can lead to potential routing problems.

I don't quite know how I should write the routes correctly in order to change the path to dashboard_path.

Do I even generate my controller correctly?

Answer 1

You can use redirect_to root_path and define the root in your ~/config/routes.rb.

You can define the root path by typing root 'dashboard#show' (or more conventionally) root 'dashboard#index' .
