🚀 Mounting Rails Engines in Your Routes​

When integrating a Rails engine, you need to mount it in your host app’s config/routes.rb so its routes become available. This centralizes the engine under a namespace and avoids path conflicts.

# config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  # Mount the BlogEngine at /blog
  mount BlogEngine::Engine, at: '/blog', as: 'blog_engine'
  
  # Other app routes
  root 'home#index'
end

After mounting, you can use blog_engine.posts_path in your views and controllers to point to the engine’s resources. The as: option defines the route helper prefix.
