I would like to hide the navbar and footer on the root page only. I am using RoR. I currently have my navbar in my application file to prevent repetitiveness. I assume a filter on my application controller?

try this in view application.html.erb :
<% unless controller.controller_name == "your_root_controller" && controller.action_name == "your_action" %>
<nav>
#something
</nav>
<% end %>
or even you can make in helper something method like this:
def root?
controller.controller_name == "your_root_controller" && controller.action_name == "your_action"
end
and next in view application.html.erb:
if root?
#something html
end
or you can also use current_page?method, and in this way:
in view application.html.erb
if current_page?(root_path)
# your html
end

The multiple solutions are appreciated. Would you recommend a specific one for production use? – Nathaniel Rand Sep 06 '16 at 19:34

if only for root i recommend for you last solution with `current_page?` method – Bartłomiej Gładys Sep 06 '16 at 19:34
