An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails
Subsequently, we need a way to authenticate our users to associate prompts with them. Rather than using an incumbent like Devise, I chose to use a different approach. The authentication-zero gem can flexibly generate an authentication system, as opposed to including it as an engine. Conveniently, it comes with options such as:
- Generate a pre-built authentication system into a rails application

Everything was going great until I installed Devise!
If you don’t need a good amount of features that Devise brings to the table, I‘d skip it entirely. Look up has_secure_password, that will be enough for a vast amount of applications with authentication. Maybe combine with cancancan for authorization. Once you feel you have a grip on those, re-evaluate devise or take a look at https://github.com/lazaronixon/authentication-zero which will transparently integrate into your app instead of providing a Rube Goldberg machine (that’s what devise will feel like for beginners for a long time).

Authentication, Roles, and Authorization... oh my.
I keep going back and forth between Devise and something a little more friendly like authentication-zero gem for authentication.

Upgrading authentication-zero gem in project
For those that have used the authentication-zero gem or are familiar with its functionality, what is the best way to upgrade it in a project when new functionality is released?
- An authentication system generator for Rails applications.
- For Rails API-only authentication, do you go for a gem or 3D party service?

An Overview of Ruby on Rails 7.1 Features. Part III
True. I tend to stay away from gems that try to integrate into multiple parts of your app to provide some sort of comprehensive solution. The kinds of gems I recommend are: 1) libraries (you call into them when you need them) 2) mounted apps on a url, isolated from the rest of your app 3) generators (this one seems nice, the author mentioned it in another HN thread: https://github.com/lazaronixon/authentication-zero).

Time to think about swapping off Devise?
I prefer to use authentication-zero, which generates code for me in the same application using has_secure_password, has good security practices, uses the same functions as Rails, and allows me to modify the flow to my liking.

What is the best way to implement social logins in an API-only Rails app?
I've seen the Omniauth gem. But based on this gist it seems this gem is more suitable for web apps. Here is the quote from that gist.

Advanced Usages of Devise for Rails
In many cases, this convenient multi-provider authentication is powered by a library called OmniAuth. OmniAuth is a flexible and powerful authentication library for Ruby that allows you to integrate with multiple external providers.

Unleash Devise-Enabling All Modules
:omniauthable is a special module in devise but it's also in charge of a very common feature: letting users log in by using a user's session from another website, e.g. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Github, etc. It's kind of delegating authentication work to those big tech companies. Nowadays, most companies follow OAuth's standards to build the authentication workflow (OAuth always means OAuth 2.0 in this article). However, each company may have different dialects when you communicate via OAuth. This module is called :omniauthable because devise has integrated with the gem omniauth, which provides a unified interface to realize the login process via OAuth.

A First Look at Hanami 2 for Ruby
In general, even though the Hanami ecosystem lacks any "plug-and-play" solutions such as Devise, you can use many existing libraries not tightly coupled to Ruby on Rails. For authentication, you can use Warden, OmniAuth or Rodauth. For uploads there is Shrine. The pagination is built into ROM. Integration with exception catchers such as Rollbar is easy.

Social Login in Rails with Rodauth
In this article, I show how to set up the rodauth-omniauth gem I had created in a Rails app, and customize the flow. This gem provides a much more integrated solution compared to Devise, in the sense that it implements the OmniAuth callback phase, automatically registering the user and/or logging them in, and persisting their external identities. It supports multiple providers, and essentially codifies this OmniAuth guide.
OmniAuth provides a standardized interface for authenticating with various external providers. Once the user authenticates with the provider, it's up to us developers to handle the callback and implement actual login and registration into the app. There is a wiki page laying out various scenarios that need to be handled if you want to support multiple providers, showing that it's by no means a trivial task.

rodauth-omniauth released: login & registration with multiple external providers
