How can I maintain a session across Ruby on Rails pages in an embedded app?

Shopify Apps
1

Hello I have successfully create a ruby on rails app based on instructions https://github.com/Shopify/shopify_app

Rails v7, shopify_app v22, Ruby 3.2

For my app I generate an MVC with db tables to save some data

rails generate scaffold post title:string body:text

Then I set the root to the root :to => ‘posts#index’ which works fine and I see the index page from the posts_controller.rb (include ShopifyApp::EmbeddedApp include ShopifyApp::EnsureInstalled added like in Home controller to maintain Shopify session)

However when I go to /posts/new or posts/1 to create new or show existing I see Shopify UI with prompt to login
It seems to me the Shopify gem session is not maintained across the rails pages

Hi,

You simply need to pass all the request parameters from Shopify to the route you want to navigate. This approach may not be the most elegant, but it’s a simple and effective solution I’ve found to work in this situation.
