currentuser-services

Offsite sign up and sign in forms for Currentuser.io.

If you want to manage your own sign_up, sign_in and sign_out actions you should use the gem currentuser-data instead.

Create your project on Currentuser.io.

Add currentuser-services gem in your Gemfile:

# Gemfile
gem 'currentuser-services'

Add an initializer file:

# config/initializers/currentuser.rb (the exact name of the file has no impact)
Currentuser::Services.configure do |config|
  config.project_id = 'your_project_id'
end

Call currentuser in your routes definition:

# config/routes.rb
MyApplication::Application.routes.draw do
  currentuser
end

• Use currentuser_sign_up_url (GET), currentuser_sign_in_url (GET) and currentuser_sign_out_url (DELETE) in your navigation to allow visitor to sign up, in and out
• Use :require_currentuser as before_action to protect your restricted actions
• In any action or view, you can use currentuser_id to retrieve the id of the connected user (if any)

That's all! Note that:

• you don't need to generate and run migrations. Currentuser does NOT rely on your database
• you don't need to generate, analyse and modify a complicated configuration file.

# config/routes.rb
MyApplication::Application.routes.draw do
  root 'main#index'
  get :restricted, to: 'main#restricted'
  currentuser
end

class MainController < ApplicationController
  before_action :require_currentuser, only: :restricted
end

-# views/home/index.html.haml
= render 'shared/menu'

%h1
  Welcome!

-# views/home/restricted.html.haml
= render 'shared/menu'

%h1
  Welcome back to this restricted area, #{currentuser_id}

-# views/shared/_menu.html.haml
%ul
  %li
    = link_to 'Home', :root
  - if currentuser_id
    %li
      = link_to 'Restricted', :restricted
    %li
      = button_to 'Sign out', currentuser_sign_out_url, method: :delete
  - else
    %li
      = link_to 'Sign up', currentuser_sign_up_url
    %li
      = link_to 'Sign in', currentuser_sign_in_url

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
• Fork the project.
• Start a feature/bugfix branch.
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
