This is an update of an old post of similar name but for a newer version of Devise and with better design decisions. The old post was for Devise 1.0.8, this one covers 4.0.0
I was trying to have a single page with both sign in and sign up forms with Devise 4.0.0 but this applies to whenever you want to show log in or registering individually or together anywhere on your site other than the views and controllers Devise creates for you.
For my task, I created a custom controller for it with a single new action as the create actions would be in the respective already existing Devise controllers. Something like this:
class Users::SessionsOrRegistrationsController < ApplicationController def new end end
And then I created a new.html.erb (actually, new.html.haml, but I digress) that contained both log in and sign up one after the other. Something like this:
<h2>Sign up</h2> <%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %> <%= devise_error_messages! %> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :email %> <%= f.email_field :email, autofocus: true %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :password %> <% if @minimum_password_length %> <em>(<%= @minimum_password_length %> characters minimum)</em> <% end %> <%= f.password_field :password, autocomplete: "off" %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :password_confirmation %> <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, autocomplete: "off" %> </div> <div class="actions"> <%= f.submit "Sign up" %> </div> <% end %> <hr/> <h2>Log in</h2> <%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: session_path(resource_name)) do |f| %> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :email %> <%= f.email_field :email, autofocus: true %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :password %> <%= f.password_field :password, autocomplete: "off" %> </div> <% if devise_mapping.rememberable? -%> <div class="field"> <%= f.check_box :remember_me %> <%= f.label :remember_me %> </div> <% end -%> <div class="actions"> <%= f.submit "Log in" %> </div> <% end %>
I actually ended up creating two _form partials and including them. In either case, when you try to render those views, you’ll get errors about some missing methods. You need to provide those as helper methods so my controller actually looks like this:
class Users::SessionsOrRegistrationsController < ApplicationController def new end private def resource_name :user end helper_method :resource_name def resource @resource ||= User.new end helper_method :resource def devise_mapping @devise_mapping ||= Devise.mappings[:user] end helper_method :devise_mapping def resource_class User end helper_method :resource_class end
And now it works.
Where do you put the view and the controller so they work together?
A controller with the name Users::SessionsOrRegistrationsController should go into app/controllers/users/sessions_or_registrations_controller.rb and the views should go into app/views/users/sessions_or_registrations.
Thanks for the quick reply. It finds the view. I did a copy paste of your controller in a new controllers/users folder. It keeps on giving me “undefined local variable or method `resource’ for #<#”. Seems not to be picking up on the controller. It’s about checking out an order. Should I first prime something in the orders_controller?
Anyone to help you would need to see all the relevant source code. Why don’t you post a question in Stack Overflow with it? Feel free to link it here and I’ll take a look.
Will you have to add new routes to make this work?
Do you have a sample implementation of this? I am trying to use this feature in an app, where I import the app/views/sessions/new.html.erb as a partial into another view in app/views/homepage/index.html.erb but am receiving an error: “undefined method `session_path'”
