Rails 5 model objects not showing all Devise attributes

Question

I am using Rails 5 API with devise. I have a User model. Schema looks like this.

create_table \"users\", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string   \         


        

Answer 1

Devise restricts attributes like encrypted_password so that the critical information doesn't get exposed in API calls. So to override this, you need to override serializable_hash method.

def serializable_hash(options = nil) 
  super(options).merge(encrypted_password: encrypted_password) 
end

This is not a Rails 5 specific feature but a Devise feature to protect your attributes.

Hope that helps!
