Authentication

The Authentication component from Instrumental Components is built on top of the core Rails Authentication generator (introduced in Rails 8) and adds:

  • A registration flow
  • Login/Signup views
  • User profile editor
  • User avatars that recognized gravatar email addresses or display user's initials.
  • Detects user's timezone at signup

Installation

First, install the Rails 8 Authentication generator:

Copy 
rails g authentication
Copy 
rails db:migrate

Then install the Authentication component:

Copy 
rails g instrumental:authentication
Copy 
rails db:migrate
