Omniauth Custom rails routes

How could I map this action

match '/auth/:provider/callback', to: 'sessions#create'

which gets called via 

<b><%= link_to "Sign in with Facebook", "/auth/facebook", id: "sign_in" %></b>

to a path like login_path or to work with a subURI?

I have tried to: "sessions#create", as: "login" but this errors out with no routes matches for sessions#create. Thanks in advance!

I believe you got confused a little.

This route you've talking about is the callback which the user is returned to after OmniAuth communicated with the 3rd-party service (eg. Facebook). So there's no point in naming this route using the :as option (although you could).

What you want to edit (if I understood you) is the URL the user hits to Login so it doesn't look like http://example.com/auth/facebook but it looks like http://example.com/login.

It's just a static url (/auth/facebook) so you could just redirect it like this:

match "/login" => redirect("/auth/github")

If the URL that is visible to the user doesn't concern you but you just want to simplify it inside your views like:

<b><%= link_to "Sign in with Facebook", sign_in, id: "sign_in" %></b>

you could define this method in a helper (ApplicationHelper.rb for example):

def login_link
  "/auth/facebook"
end

although I don't see any particular reason for doing this.

match '/auth/:provider/callback' => 'sessions#create'

The above routing code will help you, if you wan the /auth/twitter(:provider)/callback to end in your SessionsController => create action
