Details

The generator will generate a model with the following attributes:

• email
• password_digest
• auth_token
• password_reset_token

It will then place a requires_authentication method at the top of the model. This will trigger has_secure_password, and before filter used to generate an auth_token.

The model will gain the following methods, and can be override at will:

generate_token: This method takes one argument, which is the column that the token will be placed in. By default, this can be auth_token, or password_reset_token

It does not create controllers, or mailers. These are left to the main application to implement.
