has_secure_password has a method authenticate to authenticate users using bcrypt. In secure_password.rb file I found the following lines (from github):
def authenticate(unencrypted_password) BCrypt::Password.new(password_digest) == unencrypted_password && self end BCrypt::Password.new(password_digest) == unencrypted_password is clear. Q1: Can anyone explain why the result of BCrypt::Password.new(password_digest) == unencrypted_password is ANDed with 'self'? Q2: Since authenticate becomes an instance method of a class, for instance,User and so an instance method of, say, object user, self must be equal to (the current object) `user'.
