I am trying to write an API for app's sign-in/sign-up custom procedures but want to use the devise's features through my app. The problem is without defining the devise_for :users or devise_scope :user in config/routes.rb the devise's map does not get created and so I cannot use sign_in #user and etc.
Question:
How can I use the devise's features without its routes enabled?
I figured it out
# config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
# root controller#action
root 'home#index'
# define the devise's user and
# disable direct access to devise's routes
devise_for :users, skip: :all
end

i've seen a bunch of posts on how to rename already-declared routes in devise. I want to expand devise to have my own route check for and idle session. I am implementing a simple js check every 1 minute that I want to hit 'check_active' in the devise sessions controller. I tried this but no luck:
devise_scope :sessions do
get 'check_active'
end
Is there way to expand devise with a custom route (not rename an already-existing one) ?
UPDATE - almost there, i did this
# already had this in routes
devise_for :users, :controllers =>
{ registrations: 'registrations',
confirmations: 'confirmations',
sessions: 'sessions',
passwords: 'passwords',
omniauth_callbacks: "omniauth_callbacks"}
# added this
devise_scope :sessions do
get '/check_active' => 'sessions#check_active'
end
I have a js firing, i have it get '/check_active' as rake routes shows this:
check_active GET /check_active(.:format)
But when it fires, the controller 404s with
AbstractController::ActionNotFound (Could not find devise mapping for path "/check_active".
This may happen for two reasons:
1) You forgot to wrap your route inside the scope block. For example:
devise_scope :user do
get "/some/route" => "some_devise_controller"
end
2) You are testing a Devise controller bypassing the router.
If so, you can explicitly tell Devise which mapping to use:
#request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]
):
If you are overwriting Devise's default controllers, it is not any different from any other controller to add your own route.
After you create your devise controllers to overwrite, do the following:
Under sessions_controller declare a method
# app/controllers/devise/sessions_controller.rb
def check_active
# do what you want to do
end
And in your router:
# config/routes.rb
devise_scope :sessions do
get 'check_active', to: "devise/sessions#check_active"
end
I was trying the same thing and realized that the scope should be for user and not sessions, also ensure that it has to be singular.
devise_scope :user do
get '/check_active' => 'sessions#check_active'
end
Edit: Adding link to help docs for better understanding
I have a problem with the configuration of my Devise (4.5.0) in Rails (5.2.1). The login doesn't work via the api.
In my routes.rb I define the routes for Devise within a namespace like this:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
namespace :api do
devise_for :users
end
[...]
end
This generates the correct routes, but the login doesn't work, because Devise thinks that the resource_name or scope is api_user instead of user. If I override the auth_options method I can fix this problem, but is it really the way to go?
Update
I've investigated this further. It's possible to workaround this by adding singular: :user to the devise_for declaration. This isn't intuitive to me, why I created an issue: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/issues/4969
I am new to Ruby on Rails. I want to have following structure for admin section.
app/controller/admin/admin_controller.rb and all other admin section controller under app/controller/admin/ folder
app/views/layout/admin/admin.html.erb to keep separate html layout for admin section
At the same time i want to use Devise Gem for admin and front end user authentication.
I executed rails g devise:views admin, rails generate devise Admin and rails g controller admin/home index command that created views, model and controller for admin user. Now what routes and other setting i need to add so that ruby could understand that if i type http://localhost:3000/admin/ then i should be redirected to http://localhost:3000/admins/sign_in/ page and after entering correct admin credentials i should redirected to index method of controllers/admin/home_controller.rb
is it also possible to keep singular convention of Devise admin views like admin/sign_in instead of admins/sign_in ?
I have searched a lot but could not get relevant help. Please provide steps to achieve above.
Thanks in advance.
This is how route file looks like
Rails.application.routes.draw do
namespace :admin do
get 'home/index'
end
devise_for :admins
# For details on the DSL available within this file, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
root to: "home#index"
end
When i type http://localhost:3000/admin/ then i get below error
Your problem is that you do not have root route defined for /admin.
I have the same URL convention routes in one of the apps and routes.rb looks like this:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
# Admin part
devise_for :admins, path: '/admin'
scope module: :admin, path: '/admin', as: 'admin' do
root to: 'home#index'
end
# Redirect app root to client part
root to: redirect(path: '/panel', status: 301)
# Client part
devise_for :clients, path: '/panel'
scope module: :panel, path: '/panel', as: 'panel' do
...
end
end
I have a rails 5.2 application, using devise 4.4.3, which has two devise models: User and Parent.
The paths are defined the config/routes.rb as:
devise_for :users, path: 'users'
devise_for :parents, path: 'parents'
Currently when I visit an action that required authentication in an unauthenticated session I'm getting redirected to a /parents/sign_in, but I want to specify /users/sign_in as the default unauthenticated path.
How can I achieve this?
Add an unauthenticated call and define the default root route:
unauthenticated do
root to: "users#sign_in"
end
I am new to Ruby on Rails,I am using Devise gem for authentication on table account_user.
When I do rake routes I get
new_account_user_session GET /account_users/sign_in(.:format)account_user/sessions#new
So my login page is xyz.com/account_users/sign_in.
I want to change the sign-in page to just xyz.com
I don't have any routes for the same in my routes.rb file, I thought devise is automatically generating routes for this.
Is there a way I can add alias/override for this devise generated routes, or redirect user to xyz.com instead of xyz.com/account_users/sign_in
set root to devise sign_in, so in your route file there should be
devise_for :account_users
devise_scope :account_user do
root to: 'devise/sessions#new'
end
this will set your root path to sign_in
or if you want to rename the route to 'login'
devise_for :account_users
devise_scope :account_user do
get 'login', to: 'devise/sessions#new'
end
