How to invite a user to project with devise_invitable?

Question

I'm building the app, where users can be invited to a particular project/workspace/team. But by default it allows to invite users to the app, not a particular project. This question seems to be very similiar How to nest devise_invitable route to invite user to specific project Does anyone know, how to override invitations_controller in this case?

Answer 1

You can create an invite action inside your projects_controller.rb and invite the user directly to a project.

Simply associate the invited User to a Project immediately after inviting. Here's a snippet to give you an idea of how you could approach this.

# POST /projects/:id/invite { name: "John Smith", email: "john@email.com" }
def invite
  # Set the current project
  @project = Project.find(param[:id])

  # Create your own strong_invite_params method to allow name and email
  invited_user = User.invite!(strong_invite_params, current_user)

  # If a simple belongs_to :project association
  invited_user.update(project: @project.id)

  # If a complex association through a separate projects_membership table
  invited_user.projects << @project
end
