Overview

Our app relies entirely on the current_user helper method (found in our ApplicationController) to retrieve the User object associated with the currently logged-in user (if any). You guys are using the devise gem for authentication, but you still have a current_user helper method which is made available to ApplicationController (and all subclasses).

Normally, the current_user method looks something like this:

def current_user
  # do some magic to get the user id from the (encrypted) session cookie…
 user_id = get_user_id_from_session

Setting up the Secrets Submodule

First, cd into your career_arc repo and pull the latest changes...

> cd ~/repos/career_arc
> git pull

Next, initalize the git submodules feature:

	class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
	before_filter :enforce_government
	helper_method :current_government

	def enforce_government
	if current_user
	# if the current user belongs to a government, then
	# make sure that they are using that government's subdomain.
	# otherwise, make sure they are using the default subdomain...
	if current_user.government.present?

	class Api::V1::DivisionsController < Api::V1Controller
	def index
	options = pagination_options
	divisions = Division.search(options)

	render_paginated(divisions, options[:page], options[:per_page], divisions.total_pages, divisions.total_count)
	end

	def show
	render_success(current_division)
