This is very similar to Sinatra in the way that you use sessions to store a user_id after verifying with bcrypt. But, for this app I needed to have a third party log in. I love Google and all of its googliness. So I chose to use Google to log in with. Now this wasn't so easy. The first thing to do is to get a developer profile with google, and add the required gems into the app. Omniauth and Dotenv are a must. You will need to create a project and add the allowed URI's to it. Then you get a ID and secret for your project. After putting the ID and secret into the env file your can setup the controller and route to handle the login request.
There is so much that goes into making a web app and in keeping this short I will leave you with this. Rails is an amazing way to build out a new web app and makes it very flexible. The gems that you include with your app make it so much like the web pages that you visit everyday. You can see my app Here.
