Whodat - A simple, easy to use, authentication gem for Rails

• An MVC solution built on a Rails engine
• Uses BCrypt for password encryption
• Allows a quick easy user authentication
• And reference to current_user, user name and email

Intended Use Case

Whodat is intended to be used for easy and quick access to user and sessions when developing a rails application. When you don't want a lengthy set up, use Whodat. Add the one line responsive dashboard to whatever view you want. The dashboard has a main app button to return the user to the main app index page.

Example Application

To see Whodat in use, run Blogger app and test out the Whodat user dashboard.

Install

Add this gem to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'whodat'

Install the gem at the command line

$ bundle install

or just add the gem as a dependency $ gem install whodat

To add the user dashboard to views in your app

Add this snippet to the header section of your application view

<%= render partial: "whodat/dashboard/navbar", action: "index" %>

To add current_user helper method to your application

Add this snippet to your main app application controller Then you can use current_user in any controller or view in your app

     helper_method :current_user
     def current_user
        @current_user ||= ::Whodat::User.find(session[:user_id])
     end

To add user to a class

Add a migration to add user as reference to your table rails g AddUserToYourTableName user:references

And don't forget to run the migration

rake Whodat:install:migrate
rake db:migrate

Now you can refer to Whodat user attributes in your views user attributes: id, name, and email

<%= @class_instance.user.name %>
