Question

I have admin controller and I want to set layout for ‘/admin’ path.

I try like:

scope '/admin' do
  layout 'admin' # did't work
  get '/' => 'admin#index', as: 'admin'
  resources :posts, as: 'admin_posts'
end

I can set layout in AdminController like:

class AdminController < ApplicationController
  layout 'admin'
end

but is a bad way because rationally use some layout for all controllers who call from ‘/admin’ path

How I can do it?

Answer 1

You cant set layout directly in your routes.rb

I think what you do is the right way

class AdminController < ApplicationController
  layout 'admin'
end

Now you will use AdminController to generate other controllers in admin scope

class UsersController < AdminController
end

or if in a namespace

class Admin::UsersController < AdminController
end

Thats what i do, if i did understand your question.
