Transition from Devise

For those transitioning from Devise to Rodauth-rails.

in routes.rb

One often sees authentication dependent root paths as such:

  authenticated :user do
    root to: "pages#home", as: :authenticated_root
  end
  unauthenticated do
    root to: "pages#welcome"
  end

This, does not work with Rodauth-rails. One can use:

  if Rodauth::Rails.rodauth.logged_in?
    root to: "pages#home", as: :authenticated_root
  else
    root to: "pages#welcome", as: :unauthenticated_root
  end

but this is an "internal request" so one must enable such"

In rodauth_main.rb in the configure do section add :internal_request
