Rails default localhost:3000 mapped to welcome_controller#index page, i want to use my custom landing page in the root. am also using devise for authentication set up.
when i give localhost:3000 devise automatically redirects to localhost:3000/users/sign_in.
how to change the root for custom page and where to place the index.html file so that can see the landing page.
You can add this to the top of your routes.rb file:
get "/" => "custom_controller#custom_action", as: :custom_root_path
which will give you this route:
custom_root_path GET / custom_controller#custom_action
Then, you can just put the contents of your custom landing page in the corresponding view (custom_action.html.erb file) of the custom_controller's custom_action.
For example, if you name your custom controller as landing_pages_controller and the action is index, then the route will be:
get "/" => "landing_pages#index", as: :custom_root_path
Then, you will have a index method in your landing_pages_controller.rb file and will have a app/views/landing_pages/index.html.erb file where you can put the contents of your custom landing page.
