Strong parameters with Rails and Devise

Thanks for the latest updates on Rails4 branch of Devise, it doesn’t really need to insert ‘resource_params’.

I’ve created a brand new Rails4 app and followed basic Devise installation steps and my app works properly, so I think, you’ve done well.

But there is a modified gist which gives you some extra details in terms of permitted parameters if you need:

# controllers/users/registrations_controller.rb
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters

  protected

  # my custom fields are :name, :heard_how
  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) do |u|
      u.permit(:name, :heard_how,
        :email, :password, :password_confirmation)
    end
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) do |u|
      u.permit(:name,
        :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :current_password)
    end
  end
end
