Public user profiles? Ruby on Rails + Devise

Question

How to make public user profiles? I use Devise and only have /user/. User can see only his profile, I want to make /user/user_id.

user_id - public user profile.

Answer 1

I'm not that experienced, but I did it like this:

• In controllers create a users_controller.rb

• In views create /users/ typical views, for example index and show (of course define them in your controller)

• In routes add resources :users

You can simply add migrations to the users table, like

$ rails g migration add_birthday_to_users birthday:date

and show this on the users/:id page
