Adding additional fields (with validation) to Devise view/model in Rails app

Question

It seems there's not a whole lot of documentation out there covering how to add custom fields to a Devise authentication solution in a Rails 3 app.

Along with the required e-mail and password for users to sign up, I'd like a few other custom fields put in and validated and since there are no controllers generated with Devise, how does one do this?

I needed this same thing. There is a great article I found to help me:

When you do rails generate devise_views all the views for the features you selected will go in your app/views/devise folder. You could simply add the fields defined in your model to those views. If you need to customize the controller, create


class YourModel::DeviseFeaturesController

by DeviseFeatures I meant RegistrationsController, ConfirmationsController or whichever features you decided to use.

There is a great screencast about it: RailsCasts-customizing-devise

Can you provide an example for us newbies out there? The RailsCasts doesn't dwell into this matter. Thanks!
