Token authenticatable was removed

[holoiii]

I was just wondering why token authenticatable was removed? I was hoping to use it to build out a token authentication system for an API.

@holoiii you can find more info in this blog post.

@nashby :
In the gist by @josevalim , user.authentication_token is used, but when do we store this authentication_token in database ?

@geekrax there is before_save callback in User model

@nashby , thank you.
As far as I understood,

• I should create a field authentication_token in my User model
• Then in before_save I should set something to user.authentication_token ?

What something would be?
Should I replicate token_authenticable functionality from devise 3.0.3 ?

I'm a bit new with rails, I'd be very thankful if you could point me to a right direction.

@geekrax there is a method in that gist that generates that token
