Check if user is active before allowing user to sign in with devise (rails)

Question

I am using devise and created a User field called :active which is either true or false. I have to manually make the user active (true) before the user is allowed to log in

Answer 1

Devise (If you have devise 3.2+) now support block parameter in (session) create

# assuming this is your session controller

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController

def create
  super do |resource|
     unless resource.active?
      sign_out
      # you can set flash message as well.
      redirect_to :sorry_not_active_url
      return
    end
  end
end
