Skip validation for some members in Devise model during password reset

Question

My User (Devise) model also has name, city, nation, phone members.

In the create registration page - I validates_presence_of city, nation, phone, name, email,

Answer 1

I had a similar problem because when my User is created not all its fields are required. The other fields' presence is checked on: :update using a validation.

So this is how I solved:

validates :birthdate, presence: true, on: :update, unless: Proc.new{|u| u.encrypted_password_changed? }

The method encrypted_password_changed? is the one used in the Devise Recoverable.
