In this tutorial we will see how you can authenticate the RUBY on Rails application with Devise gem
Step 1
Add the following code to youe Genfile
gem 'devise'
Step 2
Next, you run the following command
rails generate devise:install
This will make your application ready for Device
Some setup you must do manually if you haven’t yet:
1. Ensure you have defined default url options in your environments files. Here
is an example of default_url_options appropriate for a development environment
in config/environments/development.rb:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: ‘localhost’, port: 3000 }
In production, :host should be set to the actual host of your application.
2. Ensure you have defined root_url to *something* in your config/routes.rb.
For example:
root to: “home#index”
3. Ensure you have flash messages in app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.
For example:
<%= notice %>
<%= alert %>
4. You can copy Devise views (for customization) to your app by running:
rails g devise:views
Step 3
Now we will crate the User model
rails g devise user
class User < ApplicationRecord
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable, :trackable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable
end
Step 4
Then you can run the migrate command
db:migrate
This will generate following routes in your application and also devise_for :users will be added to congfig\routes.rb file
new_user_session GET /users/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#new
user_session POST /users/sign_in(.:format) devise/sessions#create
destroy_user_session DELETE /users/sign_out(.:format) devise/sessions#destroy
new_user_password GET /users/password/new(.:format) devise/passwords#new
edit_user_password GET /users/password/edit(.:format) devise/passwords#edit
user_password PATCH /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#update
PUT /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#update
POST /users/password(.:format) devise/passwords#create
cancel_user_registration GET /users/cancel(.:format) devise/registrations#cancel
new_user_registration GET /users/sign_up(.:format) devise/registrations#new
edit_user_registration GET /users/edit(.:format) devise/registrations#edit
user_registration PATCH /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
PUT /users(.:format) devise/registrations#update
DELETE /users(.:format) devise/registrations#destroy
POST /users(.:format)
How about the template files for sign up, sign in etc? Where are they located?
