What's this?

draw(name) public

Loads another routes file with the given name located inside the config/routes directory. In that file, you can use the normal routing DSL, but do not surround it with a Rails.application.routes.draw block.

# config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  draw :admin                 # Loads `config/routes/admin.rb`
  draw "third_party/some_gem" # Loads `config/routes/third_party/some_gem.rb`
end

# config/routes/admin.rb
namespace :admin do
  resources :accounts
end

# config/routes/third_party/some_gem.rb
mount SomeGem::Engine, at: "/some_gem"

CAUTION: Use this feature with care. Having multiple routes files can negatively impact discoverability and readability. For most applications â even those with a few hundred routes â it’s easier for developers to have a single routes file.
