This gem enables the DoSomething authentication system for Rails projects. It creates four routes:
[GET] YOUR_APP/login - Log in / register page.
[POST] YOUR_APP/login - Handles actual authorization / registration.
[GET] YOUR_APP/logout - Logs the current session out.
[GET] YOUR_APP/gate-test/blank - Test page for gated_pages method (see below).
To install this gem and its associated functionality, add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'ds_auth', git: 'git@github.com:DoSomething/dosomething-auth.git'
This gem handles a large portion of the auth functionality by itself. It does, however, add a new method: gated_pages.
gated_pages allows you to gate any action for any controller. It can be used with or without parameters, as follows:
# Gates the "your_action" action
gated_pages :your_action
# Gates the "your_action" action and requires you to be an administrator
gated_pages :your_action, require: [:administrator]
# Gates the "your_action" action and requires you to be an administrator AND a content loader.
gated_pages :your_action, require: [:administrator, 'content loader']
# Gates the "your_action" action and requires you to be an administrator OR a content loader (both is fine).
gated_pages :your_action, require: [:administrator, 'content loader'], type: :any
