Solution for differente Devise models?

[javifr]

Hi!
Thanks a lot for sharing your approach to this problem, after one day googling is the closest solution to my problem so far.
The question is, what if you should allow login to different Devise models?
I have on my app several models under Devise ( Admin, Customer, User ), and i would like to allow them to login through the API, how would you modify your app for this?

• Adding to routes some more devise_for directives?
• Also, adding again the 3 api controllers for every model?
• Keeping the three controllers but adding some logic?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

Actually the different users (Admin, Customer, User) are actually the roles which you can assign to the users. So there will be always only one model for user (User), and you have a model for roles (Role) which will have the roles Admin, Customer, User. And you can assign these roles to the user.

It is a bad design if you are using different devise models for each type of user.

Hope it is clear.
