I am using devise for my user model and in the routes.rb I have devise_for :users
How would I go about giving users posts?

Would it just be in the routes:

resources :users do
    resources :posts
end

Or do you have to do something special due to devise

    Those routes will work, additionally you need to set up your relationships in your models, assuming your posts table includes user_id as a foreign key:

    class User < ActiveRecord::Base
      has_many :posts
      has_many :comments
    end
    
    class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
      belongs_to :user
      has_many :comments
    end
    
    class Comments < ActiveRecord::Base
      belongs_to :user
      belongs_to :post
    end
    

    edit

    To add the foreign key to your Post model:

    rails g migration add_user_id_to_posts user_id:integer
    

    This will create a migration file in the db/migrate folder that looks like:

    class AddUserIdToPosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
      def self.up
        add_column :posts, :user_id, :integer
      end
    
      def self.down
        remove_column :posts, :user_id
      end
    end
    

    You can then migrate these changes to your database using:
    rake db:migrate
