sign_up helper

[andreasseiler]

Hi there,

thanks again for the explanation on the email confirmation. I have another question about your gem. Is it possible to call the sign_up method from another controller inside my rails project? In my application it should be possible for signed in users to add new users. In devise there is a helper method (sign_up in Devise::Controllers::Helpers)

Thanks in advance,
Andi

@andreasseiler - Two questions:

1. I can't find any reference to a sign_up helper in Devise::Controllers::Helpers. Can you point me to the docs (or code) for this?
2. What is the difference between the sign_up method and simply calling User.new or User.create?

[andreasseiler]

My bad ... sorry. There is no helper method sign_up...

But thanks for the response to that silly question ;)

No problem! 😃

One thing i recocnised with User.new ... the uid is not set when I create a new user. Is that a intended behaviour?

[lynndylanhurley]

The uid value will be one of the following:

• Email address when using email registration.
• Provider uid (facebook id, twitter id, etc.) when using OAuth.

These values originate from outside of our application. So the uid value can't be set automatically.
