Devise iOS Rails Backend
====================================

Gem that updates devise to work with external clients. Specially created to work with [devise for iOS][ios_devise].

It currently implements authentication only with a "simple token authentication".

Requirements
============

| Name |  Version |
| :--: | :---: |
| [Ruby][ruby] | 2.1.5 |
| [Rails][rails] | 4.1.8 |
| [Devise][devise] | |
| [Simple Token Authentication][simple_token_authentication] | |
| [Active Model Serializers][active_model_serializers] | |

Setup
=====

With a working devise environment, the only thing you need to do is:

- add gem to the Gemfile `gem 'devise-ios-rails'`
- run bundler to install the gem `bundle install`
- setup devise like you would normally do ([check the installation guide][devise])
- in your routes change `devise_for ModelName` with `devise_ios_rails_for ModelName` (ModelName is usually User)
- authentication is handled by user token which is generated for each user during the registration process. 

To make it work you need to run migration that adds `authentication_token` column to your Devise model.
If your ModelName is `User` then the migration should look like this:
```ruby
class AddUniqueTokenToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :users, :authentication_token, :string
    add_index :users, :authentication_token, unique: true
  end
end
```
Don't forget about `rake db:migrate`.

-To protect actions to only registered users, add `acts_as_token_authentication_handler_for User` in your controller:

```ruby
class SecretSpacesController < ApplicationController
  acts_as_token_authentication_handler_for User
end
```

- If you want to skip authentication for some actions add `skip_before_filter :authenticate_user_from_token!, only: [:action]` in your controller

```ruby
class SecretSpacesController < ApplicationController
  acts_as_token_authentication_handler_for User
  skip_before_filter :authenticate_user_from_token!, only: [:new]
end
```

Example app
===========

- [Rails with devise and Simple Authentication Token authentication][rails_example_app]

Testing
=======

In order to run tests, first you need setup the gem locally.

* clone the repo to your machine `git clone https://github.com/netguru/devise-ios-rails.git`
* go inside gems directory `cd devise-ios-rails` and run bundle command `bundle install`
* now you need to setup your environment variables. You can simply just copy over `.env.sample` to `.env`. It should look more or less like this:

```
DOMAIN_NAME='localhost:3000'
DOMAIN_URL='http://localhost:3000'
SECRET_KEY_BASE='a_very_long_string'
DEFAULT_SENDER='no-reply@no-reply.com'
```

then you can run your tests by typing `rspec`.
