HasAToken

Generate simple/complex/readable tokens in Rails models.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'has_a_token'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Charsets include: :unambiguous, :alphabetical, and the default urlsafe_base64

Basic usage:

# Setup your model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include HasAToken::Concern

  # ...

  has_a_token :invite_code, charset: :unambiguous # generates an easily readable token
  has_a_token :password_reset, length: 32 # generates a 32 character secure token

  # ...

  # You can use the generate_* methods to fetch a token when records are created
  before_create :generate_invite_code
  before_save :generate_password_reset_token, if: "password_reset_token.nil?"

  # ...
end

# Reset a token
user = User
user.reset_password_reset_token! # creates a new token and persists the changes
