Rails 4 + Devise 3.0.0 Adding Username

Question

I'm working with Rails 4 and Devise 3.0.0 and am new to using these new strong paramters. I added a username to the User model using the documentation on the Devise wiki. The problem I'm running into is the strong parameters change in Rails 4.

How do I add the :login attribute to the user model to enable logging in with either the username or email?

Answer 1

From the rails4 readme on devise: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/tree/rails4#strong-parameters

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:login, :email) }
  end
end
