Alias for Devise URL Rails

Question

I am new to Ruby on Rails,I am using Devise gem for authentication on table account_user. When I do rake routes I get

new_account_user_session GET /account_users/sign_in(.:format)account_user/sessions#new

So my login page is xyz.com/account_users/sign_in . I want to change the sign-in page to just xyz.com

I don't have any routes for the same in my routes.rb file, I thought devise is automatically generating routes for this.

Is there a way I can add alias/override for this devise generated routes, or redirect user to xyz.com instead of xyz.com/account_users/sign_in

Answer 1

set root to devise sign_in, so in your route file there should be

devise_for :account_users
devise_scope :account_user do
  root to: 'devise/sessions#new'
end

this will set your root path to sign_in

or if you want to rename the route to 'login'

devise_for :account_users
devise_scope :account_user do
  get 'login', to: 'devise/sessions#new'
end
