MongoMapper for Devise

mm-devise will let you use devise with MongoMapper.

mm-devise is intended for use with Rails 3 and Devise 1.1.1. It may work with earlier versions of devise, but it's not been tested.

This README only covers mm-devise specifics. Make sure to read the devise README

Usage options

The gem gives you the options of 2 ORM setups depending on what library you wish to use for validations:

mongo_mapper - Uses MongoMapper validations
mongo_mapper_active_model - Uses ActiveModel::Validations

The advantage to this is ActiveModel's I18n support for error messages, and it uses the same validations lib as devise does by default.

ActiveModel compatibility

Currently only the mongo_mapper option has been tested. There should be full ActiveModel support in a future version of MongoMapper, after Rails 3 is released. ActiveModel support will likely be part of MongoMapper 1.0 (as mentioned by jnunemaker in a post).

Installation

Add devise, mm-devise and MongoMapper gems to your Gemfile (your Rails app Gemfile). The following gems are required

  gem 'mongo_mapper',           '>= 0.8.2'
  gem 'jnunemaker-validatable', '>= 1.8.4'
  gem 'bson_ext',               '>= 1.0.4'
  gem 'devise',                 '~> 1.1.1'
  gem 'mm-devise',              '>= 1.1.0'
  gem 'rails3-generators',      '>= 0.12.1' # optional

You can install rails3-generators which includes a mongo_mapper Model generator

gem install rails3-generators

Alternatively use bundler to install all required gems in your Rails 3 app

bundle install

Run the generator:

rails generate devise:install

The generator will install an initializer which describes ALL Devise's configuration options and you MUST take a look at it. Make sure to specify either mongo_mapper or mongo_mapper_active_model (ActiveModel::Validations) as the orm in the configuration file.

require 'devise/orm/mongo_mapper'

Note: The model generator should do this automatically.

To add Devise to any of your models using the generator:

rails generate mongo_mapper:devise MODEL

Example: create a User model for use with Devise

rails generate mongo_mapper:devise User

Test Driven Development - extending this project

To develop on this project using TDD, requires the following setup. Clone this project into a container folder, fx /projects, so you have fx /projects/mm-devise In the same container folder clone devise from github

Example:

git clone http://github.com/kristianmandrup/mm-devise.git
git clone http://github.com/plataformatec/devise.git 
cd mm-devise
bundle install
rake test

When you run rake test, you will (as of Aug 6, 2010) still get a few errors and failures. This is NOT due to any errors in mm-devise but rather due to a few "issues" with a few of the devise tests themselves IMO.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
