Groot

Groot is a simple gem to help you authenticate using JWT.

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'groot'

Run the following command to install it:

bundle install

Run the generator:

rails generate groot:install

In the following command you should replace MODEL with your user application class

rails generate groot:auth MODEL

Take a look at the MODEL and if you want, you can add any additional configuration to it. Add the following line to your routes.rb file (assuming your model is 'Admin'):

    auth_for :admins 

It will create the routes to Groot controllers.

Groot will create a filter for user authentication, to configure it just add the following line to your controller: (assuming again that your model is Admin):

before_action :authenticate_admin!

Groot will also create some helpers to make your life easier.

To get the current signed-in user:

current_admin

To verify if there is a user signed in:

admin_signed_in?

So far Groot only supports ActiveRecord.
