Method: Devise::Controllers::Helpers.define_helpers

Defined in:
lib/devise/controllers/helpers.rb

.define_helpers(mapping) ⇒ Object

Define authentication filters and accessor helpers based on mappings. These filters should be used inside the controllers as before_actions, so you can control the scope of the user who should be signed in to access that specific controller/action. Example:

Roles:
  User
  Admin

Generated methods:
  authenticate_user!  # Signs user in or redirect
  authenticate_admin! # Signs admin in or redirect
  user_signed_in?     # Checks whether there is a user signed in or not
  admin_signed_in?    # Checks whether there is an admin signed in or not
  current_user        # Current signed in user
  current_admin       # Current signed in admin
  user_session        # Session data available only to the user scope
  admin_session       # Session data available only to the admin scope

Use:
  before_action :authenticate_user!  # Tell devise to use :user map
  before_action :authenticate_admin! # Tell devise to use :admin map
