Restful Authentication Generator
====
This is a basic restful authentication generator for rails, taken from acts as authenticated. Currently it requires Rails 1.2 (or edge).
To use:
./script/generate authenticated user sessions --include-activation
The first parameter specifies the model that gets created in signup (typically a user or account model). A model with migration is created, as well as a basic controller with the create method.
The second parameter specifies the sessions controller name. This is the controller that handles the actual login/logout function on the site.
The third parameter (--include-activation) generates the code for a ActionMailer and its respective Activation Code through email.
You can pass --skip-migration to skip the user migration.
From here, you will need to add the resource routes in config/routes.rb.
map.resources :users
map.resource :session
If you're on rails 1.2.3 you may need to specify the controller name for the session singular resource:
map.resource :session, :controller => 'sessions'
Also, add an observer to config/environment.rb if you chose the --include-activation option
config.active_record.observers = :user_observer # or whatever you named your model
