Simple, multi-client and secure token-based authentication for Rails.

If you're building SPA or a mobile app, and you want authentication, you need tokens, not cookies. This gem refreshes the tokens on each request, and expires them in a short time, so the app is secure. Also, it maintains a session for each client/device, so you can have as many sessions as you want.

• Seamless integration with:
  • ng-token-auth for AngularJS
  • Angular-Token for Angular
  • redux-token-auth for React with Redux
  • jToker for jQuery
  • vanilla-token-auth for an unopinionated client
• Oauth2 authentication using OmniAuth.
• Email authentication using Devise, including:
  • User registration, update and deletion
  • Login and logout
  • Password reset, account confirmation
• Support for multiple user models.
• It is secure.

This project leverages the following gems:

• Devise
• OmniAuth

Add the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'devise_token_auth'

Then install the gem using bundle:

bundle install
