Edit Devise Controller - Add Object

Question

I want to add an object (@attachment) to the new and edit actions in the controller for devise. Unfortunately I don't know how and where to do this. :|

Answer 1

You can customize the registrations controller with the same approach shown in the docs: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#configuring-controllers

And you could instantiate the object using a private method and before_filter, like so:

#in controllers/registrations_controller.rb
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  before_filter :init_attachment, only: [:new, :edit]

  private
  def init_attachment
    @attachment #= ...
  end
end

Hope it helps!
