Introduction

Devise, a powerful authentication gem for Ruby on Rails, offers a variety of tools for managing user authentication. Among these is the authenticate method, which can be used directly in routing to restrict access to specific resources or paths. This feature allows developers to define access control at the routing level, providing a clean and straightforward way to secure parts of their application. Here is a simple block.

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  authenticate :user do
    resources :posts
  end
end
