Let's Build: With Ruby on Rails - Extending Devise Series - Confirmation Emails

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun, I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

Continuing my Let’s Build with Ruby on Rails – Extending Devise series I take a look at adding confirmation emails to a given Ruby on Rails application.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to install Devise, configure it with default settings, and then later extend it to include a feature called :confirmable.

To summarize, :confirmable appends three new fields to your User table (or whatever model you chose to initialize Devise with) in the database. From there, once a new user signs up to the app they are sent a confirmation email. That email then contains a link with a unique token that once clicked signals to your application to create the new user account. The perk of this is increased security. The person signing up will likely be entering their own email address. In doing so they can successfully visit their inbox to see the new confirmation email that is unique to their own email and session inside the application.
