AWS+Rails: Devise Profile by User Role
In this AWS Rails Tutorial we are answering a subscriber question how to create dynamic profile pages by user role. To accomplish this we will add a Role model with a few roles: default, moderator, and contributor. Next we will use a technique I learned from my favorite Ruby on Rails tutorial creators to dynamically display the correct partial by current user role. We will take advantage of lookup_context helper specifically the template_exists method. This was a really fun tutorial to create, I hope I answered the question and helped a few people along the way!
