Unpermitted Parameters adding new fields to Devise in rails 4.0

Question

Very new to working with rails. I have implemented a basic login system using Devise. I am trying to add a couple of new fields (bio:string, name:string) into the sign_up pa

Answer 1

Here's another straight forward way that works in my rails 4.2.1 app:

Create the following file

/config/initializers/devise_permitted_parameters.rb

and the code..

module DevisePermittedParameters
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  included do
    before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters
  end

  protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :name
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) << :name

    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :bio
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:account_update) << :bio
  end

end

DeviseController.send :include, DevisePermittedParameters
