In this classroom lecture, I teach how to integrate Facebook authentication into a Ruby on Rails 5 application.
rails new app_name -T --database=postgresql
# Gemfile gem 'omniauth-facebook'
rails g migration AddOmniauthToUsers provider:string uid:string name:string image:text rails db:migrate
# config/initializers/devise.rb config.omniauth :facebook, "App ID", "App Secret", callback_url: "http://localhost:3000/users/auth/facebook/callback"
# app/models/user.rb devise :omniauthable, :omniauth_providers => [:facebook]
<!-- app/views/pages/home.html.erb --> <% unless current_user %> <%= link_to "Sign in with Facebook", user_facebook_omniauth_authorize_path %> <% else %> <%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %> <% end %>
# config/routes.rb devise_for :users, :controllers => { :omniauth_callbacks => "users/omniauth_callbacks" }
mkdir app/controllers/users
# app/controller/users/omniauth_callbacks_controller.rb class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController def facebook @user = User.from_omniauth(request.env["omniauth.auth"]) if @user.persisted? sign_in_and_redirect @user, :event => :authentication set_flash_message(:notice, :success, :kind => "Facebook") if is_navigational_format? else session["devise.facebook_data"] = request.env["omniauth.auth"] redirect_to new_user_registration_url end end def failure redirect_to root_path end end
# app/models/user.rb def self.new_with_session(params, session) super.tap do |user| if data = session["devise.facebook_data"] && session["devise.facebook_data"]["extra"]["raw_info"] user.email = data["email"] if user.email.blank? end end end def self.from_omniauth(auth) where(provider: auth.provider, uid: auth.uid).first_or_create do |user| user.email = auth.info.email user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20] user.name = auth.info.name # assuming the user model has a name user.image = auth.info.image # assuming the user model has an image end end
