I think you can do it using the render command. Check out the section  
“render a file” from the following link:

> **[ActionController::Base](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000658)**
>
> Action Controllers are the core of a web request in Rails. They are made up of one or more actions that are executed on request and then either it renders a template or redirects to another action.

Hope that helps,
