Question

I’m trying to configure a route to display a profile page about the user.

At the moment, I’ve created a custom controller for this page using:

I generated my controller using:

rails g controller user-profile

and I made corresponding views.

I’m trying to do something like this:

/user-profile/:id

I’m using devise. How do I configure the route for this?

Answer 1

I would do it this way (the resulting profile will be public):

Add the route:

match "/user-profile/:id" => "user-profile#show"

Add the related action in your controller:

def show
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
end

You’re then free to use the @user variable in app/views/user-profile/show.html.erb.
