Skip Login For a Particular Action of a Particular Controller Rails

Question

I am using Devise and CanCan in my rails application. My problem is that I want to make a particular action (basket_public_url) for a particular controller (BasketsController) public. I know how to skip controllers for authorization. Is there a way around?

Answer 1

If you want to skip login, this means you want to bypass both authentication and authorization.

class BasketsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_action :authenticate_user!, :only => :basket_public_url
  skip_authorize_resource :only => :basket_public_url

end
