Add Custom Field/Column to Devise with Rails 4

Closed 6 years ago.
I want to add a property name in the user model. I ran the migration command to add the column to the database and that worked. Adding the property to user itself worked as well but it isn't saved in the db.
How can I add the property "name" to the required params of the sign_up and account_update of RegistrationController?
This is my user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
attr_accessor :name
end
I tried adding the required params to the methodes like this in the RegistrationController
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
def sign_up_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name,:email, :password, :password_confirmation)
end
def account_update_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password)
end
end
In the routings i added the line
devise_for :users, controllers: { registrations: 'users/registrations' }
But the name of the user still isn't saved in the database.

Answer 1

Add this to your ApplicationController to configure signup signin & account_update params.
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:name,:email, :password, :password_confirmation) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:login, :username, :email, :password, :remember_me) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:name, :username, :anonymous, :email, :password, :password_confirmation,:reset_password_token) }
end
And also add before_filter to ApplicationController like :
before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

Please check Devise Parameter Sanitization
You can try this:
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
def sign_up_params
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up).push(:name)
end
def account_update_params
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update).push(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password)
end
end
