Help with Rails API + React
I built a Rails authenticated API for my react native app using api_guard (https://github.com/Gokul595/api_guard) and it works great. I evaluated a lot of different solutions (knock, devise, jwt_sessions, etc.) and api_guard has the best features out of the box for JWT and easy to set up. If you are thinking about option 2, look into api_guard.

What do you use for user authentication on an API only app?
https://github.com/Gokul595/api_guard is a nice little gem for API auth using JWTs. Most of it is honestly not that hard to implement yourself though

- Devise 🥳

What is used for authentication in Rails nowadays?
https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance It is simple and good. You can also customize it easily.
-
Devise. love it or hate it?
Clearance has been better for most of my projects. Its got a cleaner implementation that Devise, and comes with a generator that will optionally dump all of the basic routes and views into the standard locations which you can then edit at will.
-
What's going on with Devise for Rails 7 ?!
I tend to suggest Clearance for Rails apps that need a more focused toolset. It may not do everything that Devise does, but it definitely works well with Rails 7. https://rubygems.org/gems/clearance/versions/2.5.0

Simple, secure, low maintenance auth that doesn’t rely on Facebook, Google etc?
I've found a much simpler/cleaner authentication gem is Clearance. Devise does just about everything, but Clearance is more opinionated so out of the box it does more of what you normally want.
-
Why am I having such a bad time with Rails?
...because some folks prefer clearance to devise! :-D
