Question regarding handle_html_requests

[aruprakshit]

vue_graphql_auth_example/app/controllers/application_controller.rb

Line 19 in e0336c9

render "layouts/application" if request.format.symbol == :html

Doesn't this line causes Filter chain halted as :handle_html_requests rendered or redirected for you too? I am not seeing the point of it. As far as I know two render calls from the same action doesn't work or am I missing something here?

I thought just this would work too.

def index
  render inline: "", layout: 'application'
end
