Rails Course: Replace Devise with Rails Authentication Generator #29345
Comments
|
Thank you for making this issue @RolandStuder. I'd be in favor of this I think, though before I give the full go ahead, I'll reach out to other Rails maintainers and see what they think. Devise is still a very common solution, and I think will remain so in spite of the Rails 8 generator. It could be argued that there's value in learning it. I think the details around using the Authentication Generator should occur in the previous lesson to the Members Only project though: The Sessons, Cookies, and Authentication lesson. I think a lot of this lesson could be reworked with the goal of using the new generator, and then the Members Only instructions can be streamlined to just talking about building a project while setting up auth through the generator. Also will have to make sure other mentions of using Devise are cleaned up. One example would be in the Final Project assignment. But anyways, I'll talk to the team about it some and get back to you. |

Describe your suggestion
The member only lesson is a great introduction. It uses Devise which is basically an industry standard, however Rails 8 now comes with a generator for handling authentication. I believe we should stick to Rails defaults as much as possible, so I suggest reworking that lesson to use the authentication generator.
Here's a good article on the generator: https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/rails-8-introduces-a-basic-authentication-generator
