I have a Rails 4 app where all controllers and views are divided into two namespaces, an agent-facing backend and a customer-facing frontend:

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  constraints subdomain: "admin" do
    namespace :backend do
      resources :events
    end
  end

  constraints subdomain: /.+/ do                
    namespace :frontend do
      resources :events
    end
  end
end

Additionally, all controllers inherit from either BackendController or FrontendController:

controllers
├── application_controller.rb
├── backend
│   ├── events_controller.rb
├── backend_controller.rb
├── frontend
│   └── events_controller.rb
├── frontend_controller.rb

Right now everything that needs to generate a path has to be prefixed with the namespace, such as respond_with [:backend, @event] or form_for [:backend, @event].

Is there a way to set a default namespace for URL helpers per-controller, so that respond_with @event called from a controller that inherits from BackendController automatically assumes the correct namespace?
