How to write a Devise extension (to use a custom datastore)

Question

I\'d like to write an extension for Devise that allows you to use parse_resource as the datastore (as opposed to ActiveRecord). parse_resource is a Ruby wrapper for Parse.com\'s

Answer 1

I think the best approach would be to write an orm_adapter adapter for parse resource. It is the real "guts" of devise's integration with various orms.

It is actually very straightforward and includes a test suite you can use. Considering parse_resource is activemodel compliant, the adapter should be as easy as cloning an existing adapter.

Next you will need to hook in the orm_adapter to devise, which is just a clone of one of these files.
