How do I enable :confirmable in Devise?

Question

The newest version of Devise doesn't have :confirmable enabled by default. I already added the respective columns to the User model but cannot find any code examples of how to enable :confirmable.

Where can I find a good example or what code do I need to enable it?

Answer 1

to "enable" confirmable, you just need to add it to your model, e.g.:

class User   # ...   devise :confirmable , ....   # ... end 

after that, you'll have to create and run a migration which adds the required columns to your model:

# rails g migration add_confirmable_to_devise class AddConfirmableToDevise < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     add_column :users, :confirmation_token, :string     add_column :users, :confirmed_at,       :datetime     add_column :users, :confirmation_sent_at , :datetime     add_column :users, :unconfirmed_email, :string      add_index  :users, :confirmation_token, :unique => true   end   def self.down     remove_index  :users, :confirmation_token      remove_column :users, :unconfirmed_email     remove_column :users, :confirmation_sent_at     remove_column :users, :confirmed_at     remove_column :users, :confirmation_token   end end

I'd recommend to check the source code to see how Confirmable works:
