How Do I Customise The Path Devise Uses For Views

I have some custom views for Devise's SessionsController. I am using scoped views so they are currently located at:

app/views/users/sessions

I need to move the views into a subfolder so that their new location will be:

app/views/public/users/sessions

I have specified the layout I would like Devise to use for these views in application.rb using:

config.to_prepare do
  Devise::SessionsController.layout "public/layouts/application"
end

But I see no way to specify the view path.

How can prepend public to the path Devise uses to look up the views?

I was trying to find our the solution, tried something and it worked:

namespace :public, module: nil, path: '' do
    devise_for :users, path: ''
end

This will generate paths for example: /sign_in, /sign_out without any prefix, and uses the devise views from views/public/users directory

View Scoping

I don't know whether this will help:

#config/initializers/devise.rb
  ...
  config.scoped_views = true

This is what Devise says about it:

Turn scoped views on. Before rendering "sessions/new", it will first check for users/sessions/new. It's turned off by default because it's slower if you are using only default views.

I guess that means if you have a custom sessions_controller inside the /public directory, it will switch the settings to suit?

Here's the documentation to support this

Doesn't seem to be possible without Overriding each controller and adding a view path using prepend_view_path:

module Public
  module Users
    class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
      prepend_view_path 'app/views/public'
      layout "public/layouts/application"
    end
  end
end
