Ruby/Rails: How do you customize the mailer templates of Devise?

Question

I\'ve installed Devise for my Rails app (3.0.1) and it\'s mostly working. I just can\'t seem customize the mailer views.

• My user model is \"User\".

Answer 1

according to devise's docs

you should edit your config/initializers/devise.rb:

config.scoped_views = true

(it is commented by default)

by doing so, you can customize your views for different models, rather than the global devise.

Answer 2

If you want to generate JUST the email views, you can do it with: rails g devise:views [SCOPE] -v mailer. The [SCOPE] in your case is users.

Note: I'm using Devise 4.7.3.

Answer 3

To generate views by resource name

rails generate devise:views users

To generate specify views by module of recoverable

rails generate devise:views users -v passwords

To generate specify mail views only

rails generate devise:views users -v mailer 

for more details generate views

Answer 4

If you are interested in not using Devise's default usage of ActionMailer and would instead like to send customized emails with an API from a service like SendGrid, Mailgun, or Postmark you will need to create a custom Mailer that subclasses Devise::Mailer and overrides its "notification" methods.

Here is an example using Mailgun.

Answer 5

Try this:

rails generate devise:views

Answer 6

I think you'll need to manage the Devise views yourself. Try the following in a console:

rails generate devise:views

This will generate all the views Devise uses (including mailer templates), which you can now customize.

The mailers you're looking for should then be in 'app/views/devise/mailer'

If you want to generate scoped views, or only a subset of them that is also possible. Per the documentation at https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#configuring-views:

You can also use the generator to generate scoped views:

rails generate devise:views users

If you would like to generate only a few sets of views, like the ones for the registerable and confirmable module, you can pass a list of modules to the generator with the -v flag.

rails generate devise:views -v registrations confirmations
