draft:devise generator update

[bpurinton]

See here: https://github.com/firstdraft/draft_generators/tree/master/lib/generators/draft/devise

We would like something like:

rails generate draft:devise

That does:

• rails generate devise:install
• Changes config/initializers/devise.rb Line 269 to config.sign_out_via = :get
• sets a root route? root "boards#index" (not sure this is entirely necessary)
• creates registration, sign-in, edit profile forms in plain HTML (no helper methods)

sets a root route? root "boards#index" (not sure this is entirely necessary)

I'm not sure we want to do this, since we can't really predict what route users wants to use for the root route. At least, I don't think we did this for the draft:account generator.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Will Devise complain if you don't put root controller#action in the top of the routes? Might need to include some copy / instructions to do that step manually.

Will Devise complain if you don't put root controller#action in the top of the routes?

I think it's just that Devise redirects to root after sign in/up so if you don't have that route you get a "No route matches error", which in all fairness, students should be able to debug. I'm not sure if this is mentioned in any of the updated written content, but I remember when Raghu demoed user generators in class, he would usually mention that a home page/root route was something that you need to do either before or after running the generator.

Current plan:

• hold off on draft:devise, since it might be more overhead than it's worth
• AD1 students do normal devise and change sign-out to get (in this lesson: https://learn.firstdraft.com/lessons/137-bulletin-board-2#setting-up-devise)
• Main issue: If the account has other attributes, then student needs the forms to modify and CRUD. Solution: This lesson: https://learn.firstdraft.com/lessons/238-authentication-with-devise-basics
  • (eventually, in AD2, they get the full lesson with more details: https://learn.firstdraft.com/lessons/195-authentication-with-devise)
