Customize Paths And Helpers For Devise Routes

Wih a default Devise setup (devise_for :users), the sign up/in/out routes are located at /users/sign_up, /users/sign_in, and /users/sign_out. And the path helpers are new_user_registration_path, new_user_session_path, and destroy_user_session_path, respectively.

These can be customized in config/routes.rb by opening up the devise_scope :user block and re-specifying the routes of interest.

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users
  devise_scope :user do
    get 'sign_up', to: 'devise/registrations#new'
    get 'sign_in', to: 'devise/sessions#new'
    delete 'sign_out', to: 'devise/sessions#destroy'
  end
end

These three custom routes override the paths and helps I described above like so:

• sign_up_path -> /sign_up
• sign_in_path -> /sign_in
• sign_out_path -> /sign_out

I find these path helpers easier to work with and I like the UX of registration/session paths not nested under /user.
