How to access devise current_user from model

Question

Just start to develop with devise for my app authentication, however running into trouble with accessing current_user from a model. I have no problem accessing this from a controller.

For my scenario I need to get the current user id to keep track who has edit the blog post, which I save the user id with before_save filter.

Appreciate your help!

You can only pass it down in a parameter.

class SomeModel 
  def my_nifty_method(user)
  end
end

in controller:

class SomeModelsController < ApplicationController
  def some_method
    sm = SomeModel.new
    sm.my_nifty_method(current_user)
  end
end
