If your config/routes.rb is follows:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :posts, only: [:index, :new, :edit, :show]

  root 'posts#index'
end

Then following methods are available in your view files:

• root_path?
• posts_path?
• new_post_path?
• edit_post_path?(:id)
• post_path?(:id)

For example, you can check current page is new_post_path or not in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:

<% if new_post_path? %>
  <!-- Show only in new_post_path -->
<% end %>

def root_path?
