Ruby on Rails Devise code after login

Question

I have an RoR app using Devise for logins. There is some code that is executed when a new User record is created, by being put in the user.rb file as an after_create call/m

Answer 1

Just subclass Devise's sessions controller and put your custom behaviour there:

# config/routes.rb
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :sessions => "custom_sessions" }

And then create your controller like this:

# app/controllers/custom_sessions_controller.rb
class CustomSessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
  before_filter :before_login, :only => :create
  after_filter :after_login, :only => :create

  def before_login
  end

  def after_login
  end
end
