Overview

Authenticatable module. Holds common settings for authentication.

Options

Authenticatable adds the following options to devise:

* +authentication_keys+: parameters used for authentication. By default [:email].

* +http_authentication_key+: map the username passed via HTTP Auth to this parameter. Defaults to
  the first element in +authentication_keys+.

* +request_keys+: parameters from the request object used for authentication.
  By specifying a symbol (which should be a request method), it will automatically be
  passed to find_for_authentication method and considered in your model lookup.

  For instance, if you set :request_keys to [:subdomain], :subdomain will be considered
  as key on authentication. This can also be a hash where the value is a boolean specifying
  if the value is required or not.

* +http_authenticatable+: if this model allows http authentication. By default false.
  It also accepts an array specifying the strategies that should allow http.

* +params_authenticatable+: if this model allows authentication through request params. By default true.
  It also accepts an array specifying the strategies that should allow params authentication.

* +skip_session_storage+: By default Devise will store the user in session.
  By default is set to skip_session_storage: [:http_auth].

active_for_authentication?

After authenticating a user and in each request, Devise checks if your model is active by calling model.active_for_authentication?. This method is overwritten by other devise modules. For instance, :confirmable overwrites .active_for_authentication? to only return true if your model was confirmed.

You can overwrite this method yourself, but if you do, don’t forget to call super:

def active_for_authentication?
  super && special_condition_is_valid?
end

Whenever active_for_authentication? returns false, Devise asks the reason why your model is inactive using the inactive_message method. You can overwrite it as well:

def inactive_message
  special_condition_is_valid? ? super : :special_condition_is_not_valid
end

#inspect ⇒ Object

Redefine inspect using serializable_hash, to ensure we don’t accidentally leak passwords into exceptions.

  end
  "#<#{self.class} #{inspection.join(", ")}>"
end

#serializable_hash(options = nil) ⇒ Object

Redefine serializable_hash in models for more secure defaults. By default, it removes from the serializable model all attributes that are not accessible. You can remove this default by using :force_except and passing a new list of attributes you want to exempt. All attributes given to :except will simply add names to exempt to Devise internal list.

  :invalid
end

#valid_for_authentication? ⇒ Boolean

Check if the current object is valid for authentication. This method and find_for_authentication are the methods used in a Warden::Strategy to check if a model should be signed in or not.

However, you should not overwrite this method, you should overwrite active_for_authentication? and inactive_message instead.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
