Can anyone guide me how to register a user from mobile device (rest API) in ruby on rails. I'm using Devise with Rails 3.0.
it is giving me this following error
NameError in Devise::CustomRegistrationsController#create
2 Answers
I've override the functionality of devise registration controller with the following.
def create
respond_to do |format|
format.html {
super
}
format.json {
build_resource
if resource.save
render :status => 200, :json => resource
else
render :json => resource.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity
end
}
end
end
this solved the problem and I've added
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => :create
to avoid authenticity check.

How do you add the route for this?
Wouldn't it be easier to make views for mobile than make an app on android/iOS? If you need API, then go with POST requests at /users/sign_up (and similar), for example,
browse localhost:3000/users/sign_up and change form's action parameter to action="/users.json", then click submit and you will receive the API's response, for me (on vanilla setup):
{"email":["has already been taken"],"password":["doesn't match confirmation","is too short (minimum is 6 characters)"]}
This way you can debug API (which follows standard conventions) with your browser. Notice that only :format parameter changes on rails routes (you can choose .json or .xml for APIs response)
POST info sent by my browser:
"utf8=✓&authenticity_token=n5vXMnlzrXefnKQEV4SmVM8cFdHDCUxMYWEBMHp9fDw%3D&user[email]=asd%40fasd.org&user[password]=321&user[password_confirmation]=1233&commit=Sign+up"
