Instance Method Details

#authenticate! ⇒ Object

Authenticate a user based on email and password params, returning to warden success and the authenticated user if everything is okay. Otherwise redirect to sign in page.

Please notice the semantic difference between calling fail! and throw :warden. The first does not perform any action when calling authenticate, just when authenticate! is invoked. The second always perform the action.
