Is there an elegant way to integrate code performing authentication on other php site into Devise?

[stanislaw‏]

I am developing Rails application, in which I need to authorize users
from other site written on PHP.

The APIs of PHP site written by its developer are custom i.e. they are
not OmniAuth or similar.

I wonder, if there is elegant way to somehow integrate my code sending/
receiving JSON responses to/from PHP site into Devise, so it could
work like I am doing authentication of users in usual Devise way from
my app.

Thanks.

I think you may need too much customization to get this done, which may lead me to think it's not worth to use Devise at all - unless you need more features that Devise can give you.

In any case, if you want to give it a try, I think you could start by writing a custom strategy that talks to your PHP API, and use it with Devise. You can take a look at Devise strategies to base your work.
