Question: How can I add a username field in my devise gem?

Answer 1

Answer is now outdated [ Valid for rails4 ]
I have done the same. Please follow these steps:
rails generate migration add_username_to_users username:string:uniq
rake db:migrate
add attr_accessible :username
in application_controller.rb:
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:login, :username, :email, :password, :remember_me) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password) }
end
in config/initializers if you want to replace email by usernname
config.authentication_keys = [ :username ]
config.case_insensitive_keys = [ :username ]
config.strip_whitespace_keys = [ :username ]
update the views.
Note if attr_accessible :usernamegives error try attr_accessor :username

If you are using rails 4 then put below code in application controller
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :username
end
end

Answer 3

If you are using rails 4 then follow this steps:
rails g migration AddUserNameToAuthorize
rake db:migrate
put this code in application_controller.rb to accept username parameter for sign_in, sign_up and also for account_update:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:email, :password,:username) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation,:username) }
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation,:username) }
end
end

Answer 4

Devise actually add the field to model which you specified during devise setup. If You have add migration to that model. For example, you have used devise for user model, then you can generate migration for adding the username to user model and run the db:migrate and add the attr_accessible :username to model, if you are using rails < 4

Answer 5

You have to add username in the model which you had given in below command
rails g devise <modelname>
Once you are done then you need to follow your above steps but need to modify devise configuration file to look for username for login instead of email. Then restart rails server and it should be fine.

source = https://github.com/heartcombo/devise
add username to your usermodel
db:migrate
and then past following in your ApplicationController:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:username])
end
end
also this in your devise/registration/new.html.erb into the
<%= f.input :username,
required: true,
autofocus: true,
input_html: { autocomplete: "username" }%>
and you're good to go
