Adding name attribute to `User` in Devise

Question

I\'m trying to add a name attribute to the User model provided by Devise. I added a \"name\" column to my database, and changed the sign up view so that it asks for the use

Answer 1

For Rails 4

Use like this

protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me) }
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit(:login, :username, :email, :password, :remember_me) }
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) { |u| u.permit(:username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password) }
end

Add additional fields at the end.

Answer 2

uncomment some of the generated code:

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  before_filter :configure_sign_up_params, only: [:create]

  protected

  def configure_sign_up_params
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :name
  end
end

Answer 3

 private

   def sign_up_params
     params.require(:user).permit(:name,:email,:gender,:age,:password,:password_confirmation) if params[:user].present?
   end

Add this in the controller that extends devise's default registration controller

Answer 4

Yes. Add :name to attr_accessible in User Model

Answer 5

in your user model locate;

 attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me

and add :name on the end

Answer 6

Write this code inside the ApplicationController class...

before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if:  :devise_controller?

      protected

      def configure_permitted_parameters
        devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :name
