Confirmable is responsible to verify if an account is already confirmed to sign in, and to send emails with confirmation instructions. Confirmation instructions are sent to the user email after creating a record and when manually requested by a new confirmation instruction request.
Confirmable adds the following options to devise_for:
* +allow_unconfirmed_access_for+: the time you want to allow the user to access his account before confirming it. After this period, the user access is denied. You can use this to let your user access some features of your application without confirming the account, but blocking it after a certain period (ie 7 days). By default allow_unconfirmed_access_for is zero, it means users always have to confirm to sign in. * +reconfirmable+: requires any email changes to be confirmed (exactly the same way as initial account confirmation) to be applied. Requires additional unconfirmed_email db field to be setup (t.reconfirmable in migrations). Until confirmed new email is stored in unconfirmed email column, and copied to email column on successful confirmation.
User.find(1).confirm! # returns true unless it's already confirmed User.find(1).confirmed? # true/false User.find(1).send_confirmation_instructions # manually send instructions
Overwrites active_for_authentication? for confirmation by verifying whether a user is active to sign in or not. If the user is already confirmed, it should never be blocked. Otherwise we need to calculate if the confirm time has not expired for this user.
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 87 def active_for_authentication? super && (!confirmation_required? || confirmed? || confirmation_period_valid?) end
Confirm a user by setting it’s confirmed_at to actual time. If the user is already confirmed, add an error to email field. If the user is invalid add errors
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 42 def confirm! pending_any_confirmation do self.confirmation_token = nil self.confirmed_at = Time.now.utc if self.class.reconfirmable && unconfirmed_email.present? @bypass_postpone = true self.email = unconfirmed_email self.unconfirmed_email = nil # We need to validate in such cases to enforce e-mail uniqueness save(:validate => true) else save(:validate => false) end end end
Verifies whether a user is confirmed or not
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 61 def confirmed? !!confirmed_at end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 102 def headers_for(action) headers = super if action == :confirmation_instructions && pending_reconfirmation? headers[:to] = unconfirmed_email end headers end
The message to be shown if the account is inactive.
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 92 def inactive_message !confirmed? ? :unconfirmed : super end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 65 def pending_reconfirmation? self.class.reconfirmable && unconfirmed_email.present? end
Resend confirmation token. This method does not need to generate a new token.
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 79 def resend_confirmation_token pending_any_confirmation { send_confirmation_instructions } end
Send confirmation instructions by email
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 70 def send_confirmation_instructions self.confirmation_token = nil if reconfirmation_required? @reconfirmation_required = false generate_confirmation_token! if self.confirmation_token.blank? self.devise_mailer.confirmation_instructions(self).deliver end
If you don’t want confirmation to be sent on create, neither a code to be generated, call skip_confirmation!
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 98 def skip_confirmation! self.confirmed_at = Time.now.utc end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 161 def after_password_reset super confirm! unless confirmed? end
Checks if the confirmation for the user is within the limit time. We do this by calculating if the difference between today and the confirmation sent date does not exceed the confirm in time configured. Confirm_within is a model configuration, must always be an integer value.
Example:
# allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 1.day and confirmation_sent_at = today confirmation_period_valid? # returns true # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 5.days and confirmation_sent_at = 4.days.ago confirmation_period_valid? # returns true # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 5.days and confirmation_sent_at = 5.days.ago confirmation_period_valid? # returns false # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 0.days confirmation_period_valid? # will always return false
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 136 def confirmation_period_valid? confirmation_sent_at && confirmation_sent_at.utc >= self.class.allow_unconfirmed_access_for.ago end
Callback to overwrite if confirmation is required or not.
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 113 def confirmation_required? !confirmed? end
Generates a new random token for confirmation, and stores the time this token is being generated
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 152 def generate_confirmation_token self.confirmation_token = self.class.confirmation_token self.confirmation_sent_at = Time.now.utc end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 157 def generate_confirmation_token! generate_confirmation_token && save(:validate => false) end
Checks whether the record requires any confirmation.
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 141 def pending_any_confirmation if !confirmed? || pending_reconfirmation? yield else self.errors.add(:email, :already_confirmed) false end end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 172 def postpone_email_change? postpone = self.class.reconfirmable && email_changed? && !@bypass_postpone @bypass_postpone = nil postpone end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 166 def postpone_email_change_until_confirmation @reconfirmation_required = true self.unconfirmed_email = self.email self.email = self.email_was end
# File lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb, line 178 def reconfirmation_required? self.class.reconfirmable && @reconfirmation_required end
