I'm working on my first Rails app and I have a question regarding
authentication. I already have authentication for signing up, logging
in, logging out, etc. What I need is an account email activation
function and a reset password (forgot password) function. I have read
a little bit about Devise and watched the Railscast episodes on it, it
seems nice, but is it possible to add just the functions I mentioned?
And do I need to change a lot in my current models to do it? Or is it
easier to do it manually?
From the Devise documentation at github (http://github.com/plataformatec/devise
):
It’s composed of 12 modules:
...
• Confirmable: sends emails with confirmation instructions and
verifies whether an account is already confirmed during sign in.
• Recoverable: resets the user password and sends reset instructions.
...
So you'll need to add "confirmable" and "recoverable" to your devise
settings and then add several fields to the existing database tables:
confirmation_token, confirmed_at, confirmation_sent_at
and
reset_password_token
All of this is just a matter of quickly reading through the Devise
source code and the docs on github. It's there in plain sight.
