# in application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
add_flash_types :warning
end
# in your controller
redirect_to user_path(@user), warning: "Incomplete profile"
# in your view
<%= warning %>
This method will automatically define a new method for each of the given names, and it will be available in your views.
