Rails/Devise - Creating new users via json request

Question

I would like to do a new user signup via JSON but I get an invalid authenticity token error.

I would like to not turn the forgery check for all controller. Any sugg

Answer 1

You could buil your own controller that does not derive from a devise controller.

def UserSignupApiController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!
  respond_to :json
  def create
    @user = User.create(params[user])
    respond_with(@user)
  end
end

I think you get the idea. You just instantiate your User just like you would do in Rails console. I do not recommend this kind of practice though
