How to create another object when creating a Devise User from their registration form in Rails?

Question

There are different kinds of users in my system. One kind is, let\'s say, a designer:

class Designer < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :user_id, :portfol         


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to change the registration controller, one way is to use the ActiveRecord callbacks

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_create :create_designer

  private

  def create_designer
      Designer.create(user_id: self.id) 
  end
end
