rodauth-rails VS Clearance

In this article, I would like to show how to set each of these up in a Rails app that uses rodauth-rails. I'll be using Safari on macOS Ventura, and have iCloud Keychain sync enabled, which is a requirement for Apple passkeys.

Once I felt things were functioning well enough, I extracted the glue code into the rodauth-rails gem and added tests. I also included an install generator, which created the initial skeleton with sensible default configuration. A new Roda superclass provided a convenience configure method for loading the Rodauth plugin together with the rails feature.

FWIW I'm using rodauth and I like it: https://github.com/janko/rodauth-rails

My question is pretty much in the title. Is it possible to do Omniauth in a Rails API Only app? I've been looking into devise-token-auth and rodauth-rails. rodauth-rails has a tutorial for Omniauth (https://github.com/janko/rodauth-rails/wiki/OmniAuth), but it is using a Rails monolith.

I didn't create it, it was created by Jeremy Evans, I just contribute to it occasionally ;). I created the Rails integration, because I wanted to bring it into the Rails ecosystem, and I recently started recording screencasts. So I'm biased in that sense :)

$/myapp> bundle info rodauth-rails * rodauth-rails (0.18.1) Summary: Provides Rails integration for Rodauth. Homepage: https://github.com/janko/rodauth-rails Path: /Users/shino/.rbenv/versions/3.0.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/rodauth-rails-0.18.1

I don't know if you've seen, but I wrote a guide that shows an integration, which you can use for now. This is also what the official demo Rails app uses.

https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance It is simple and good. You can also customize it easily.

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.

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

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.

...because some folks prefer clearance to devise! :-D

Clearance is a Rails authentication with email & password. It is intended to be small, simple, and well-tested. It has opinionated defaults but is intended to be easy to override. 3,321 stars by now
