Adding Custom Fields to Devise User Model in Rails 4

http://www.jacopretorius.net/2014/03/adding-custom-fields-to-your-devise-user-model-in-rails-4.html

 create the migration

class AddFieldsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration

  def change

    add_column :users, :first_name, :string

    add_column :users, :last_name, :string

  end

end

Customizing the RegistrationsController

creating our own registrations controller (which extends Devise) and then customizing these methods as we choose.

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

 

  private

 

  def sign_up_params

    params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password,:password_confirmation)

  end

 

  def account_update_params

    params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password,:password_confirmation, :current_password)

  end

end




Now we need to tell Devise to use our registrations controller - we can do this in ourconfig/routes.rb file.

devise_for :users, :controllers => { registrations: 'registrations' }
