Cheat Sheet: Simple Authentication in Rails 5 with `has_secure_password`

The goal of this cheatsheet is to make it easy to add hand-rolled authentication to any rails app in a series of layers.

First the simplest/core layers, then optional layers depending on which features/functionality you want.

Fork the following repository and create your own challenge. Here are a few ideas you might try:

Refactor the Lets Drill challenge to teach another language (ie. Python, PHP, Javascript, etc)
Use FizzBuzz to teach a testing framework
Create a challenge for building a FizzBuzz App in Express, Flask, NodeJS.

I've never really had a true mentor in the way that most would describe but I've had the opportunity to learn from amazing leaders and organizations through first-hand experience and reading. I regularly distill the lessons I learn and keep a list of them that I add/modify/review roughly from week to week. It keeps me consistent.

Here's a snippet of the list:

Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcomes (widely attributed to Charlie Munger and true)
Don’t “disrupt” industries, find solutions to fix big problems where everyone wins
The best way to predict the future is to invent it
It’s always good to have options
Growth is the key to all the perks.
For the hundredth time, your network is your net-worth. Only *25% of people are natural extroverts so you’ll have to work at maintaining and growing your network.

We have a number of Nodeschool.io workshopppers at our disposal:

Intermediate: Build This

We're going to build a client-side only todo app like the following:

Rails

Default rails apps come setup for the SQLite database but SQLite is not supported by Heroku. You may want to use Postgres initially instead. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-setup-ruby-on-rails-with-postgres

Authentication

Devise - gives you "all the things" - you use omniauth to setup social media login, allow password resets, setup email confirmation, register accounts. https://github.com/plataformatec/devise

Authorization

Pundit - you can create your own authorization system to create user roles and page access or use something like pundit. https://github.com/elabs/pundit
