Tok

No-frills token-based authentication for modern Rails applications.

Tok works with (and is tested against) Rails > 4.0. To install, add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'tok'

Then run bundle install. You can always install the gem yourself by executing:

$ gem install tok

First, run the generator by executing:

$ rails generate tok:install

The generator by default does the following:

• Inserts Tok::Authentication into User model (or creates one if not available)
• Inserts Tok::Controller into your ApplicationController
• Creates a number of default routes signup, login, and logout
• Creates an initializer at config/initializers/tok.rb to allow further configuration

A custom model can be specified by passing --model (or just -m) as an option to the generator:

$ rails generate tok:install -m Account
$ rails generate tok:install --model=Account

In this case, the generator will also create a migration in order to create a table with the specified model pluralized.

Next, run migrations by executing:

$ rake db:migrate

To configure Tok, you can override defaults in your config/initializers/tok.rb. Be sure to check the initializer for further details into what values are used by default.

# Use the following configuration block to adjust Tok.
Tok.configure do |config|
  config.model = Account
  config.bcrypt_cost = 8 
  config.signup_route = "sign_up"
  config.login_route = "sign_in"
  config.logout_route = "sign_out"
end
