Overriding Devise::Models::Trackable

[Arthur Chui]

I need to track a few more things about a user after sign up. What is the best way to override the module? If I create a new module in the app, how is it being included into the User model? 

Please advise. Many thanks!

Arthur

Just override this method in your model and do whatever you want to do before calling super: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/models/trackable.rb#L18

    def update_tracked_fields!(*)

      self.foo = 'bar'

      super

    end

Thanks Carlos. That's very easy to inherit the method in models.

Does Devise provide a way to add custom hook like Trackable? Say I want to build more own "Whatever-able". Is there a way to add the hook and module from my app?

[Carlos Antonio da Silva]

Sure, there is a way. But it's not provided by devise itself, but by warden, the internal lib devise uses. See for instance our trackable module: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/hooks/trackable.rb

Check out this wiki page on warden to see more about these hooks/callbacks: https://github.com/hassox/warden/wiki/Callbacks

If you want to add a full module, say with a model module to be included, routes and so on, you'll have to rely on Devise.add_module: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise.rb#L302. Check the docs and other modules to see examples on how to use it.

Hi Carlos,

How can I change the way devise saves the user current_ip?

I am using cloudflare and request.remote_ip holds one of cloudflares CDN and not the real user IP, which is in anohter header var "HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP".

thanks in advance,

I think you can redefine `update_tracked_fields!` method in User model and change https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/models/trackable.rb#L23 this line to getting IP from `request.headers` or something like this.
