Module: Devise::Models::Confirmable

Includes:
Activatable
Defined in:
lib/devise/models/confirmable.rb

Overview

Confirmable is responsible to verify if an account is already confirmed to sign in, and to send emails with confirmation instructions. Confirmation instructions are sent to the user email after creating a record, after updating it’s email and also when manually requested by a new confirmation instruction request. Whenever the user update it’s email, his account is automatically unconfirmed, it means it won’t be able to sign in again without confirming the account again through the email that was sent.

Configuration:

confirm_within: the time you want the user will have to confirm it's account
                without blocking his access. When confirm_within is zero, the
                user won't be able to sign in without confirming. You can
                use this to let your user access some features of your
                application without confirming the account, but blocking it
                after a certain period (ie 7 days). By default confirm_within is
                zero, it means users always have to confirm to sign in.

Examples:

User.find(1).confirm!      # returns true unless it's already confirmed
User.find(1).confirmed?    # true/false
User.find(1).send_confirmation_instructions # manually send instructions
User.find(1).resend_confirmation! # generates a new token and resent it
