Overriding Devise Registration Create Method

Question

I want to specifically set a field when a user is created. I have

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  def create
    super
          


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to rewrite the entire code of the create method, you can simply set the resource variable inside the protected method :build_resource of Devise::RegistrationsController, which is called before the resource is saved.

protected 

# Called before resource.save
def build_resource(hash=nil)
  super(hash)
  resource.tag_list = params[:tags]
end
