一种设计邀请策略

DeviseInvitable

It adds support to Devise for sending invitations by email (it requires to be authenticated) and accept the invitation setting the password.

Requirements

The latest version of DeviseInvitable works with Devise >= 4.6.

If you want to use devise_invitable with earlier Devise releases (4.0 <= x < 4.6), use version 1.7.5.

Installation

Install DeviseInvitable gem:

gem install devise_invitable

Add DeviseInvitable to your Gemfile:

gem 'devise_invitable', '~> 2.0.0'

Automatic installation

Run the following generator to add DeviseInvitable’s configuration option in the Devise configuration file (config/initializers/devise.rb):

rails generate devise_invitable:install

When you are done, you are ready to add DeviseInvitable to any of your Devise models using the following generator:

rails generate devise_invitable MODEL

Replace MODEL by the class name you want to add DeviseInvitable, like User, Admin, etc. This will add the :invitable flag to your model's Devise modules. The generator will also create a migration file (if your ORM supports them).

Manual installation

Follow the walkthrough for Devise and after it's done, follow this walkthrough.

Devise Configuration

Add :invitable to the devise call in your model (we’re assuming here you already have a User model with some Devise modules):

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :database_authenticatable, :confirmable, :invitable
end

ActiveRecord Migration

Add t.invitable to your Devise model migration:

create_table :users do
  ...
    ## Invitable
    t.string   :invitation_token
    t.datetime :invitation_created_at
    t.datetime :invitation_sent_at
    t.datetime :invitation_accepted_at
    t.integer  :invitation_limit
    t.integer  :invited_by_id
    t.string   :invited_by_type
  ...
end
add_index :users, :invitation_token, unique: true

or for a model that already exists, define a migration to add DeviseInvitable to your model:

def change
    add_column :users, :invitation_token, :string
    add_column :users, :invitation_created_at, :datetime
    add_column :users, :invitation_sent_at, :datetime
    add_column :users, :invitation_accepted_at, :datetime
    add_column :users, :invitation_limit, :integer
    add_column :users, :invited_by_id, :integer
    add_column :users, :invited_by_type, :string
    add_index :users, :invitation_token, unique: true
end

If you previously used devise_invitable with a :limit on :invitation_token, remove it:

def up
  change_column :users, :invitation_token, :string, limit: nil
end

def down
  change_column :users, :invitation_token, :string, limit: 60
end

Mongoid Field Definitions

If you are using Mongoid, define the following fields and indexes within your invitable model:

field :invitation_token, type: String
field :invitation_created_at, type: Time
field :invitation_sent_at, type: Time
field :invitation_accepted_at, type: Time
field :invitation_limit, type: Integer

index( { invitation_token: 1 }, { background: true} )
index( { invitation_by_id: 1 }, { background: true} )

You do not need to define a belongs_to relationship, as DeviseInvitable does this on your behalf:

belongs_to :invited_by, polymorphic: true

Remember to create indexes within the MongoDB database after deploying your changes.

rake db:mongoid:create_indexes

Model configuration

DeviseInvitable adds some new configuration options:

  • invite_for: The period the generated invitation token is valid. After this period, the invited resource won't be able to accept the invitation. When invite_for is 0 (the default), the invitation won't expire.

You can set this configuration option in the Devise initializer as follow:

# ==> Configuration for :invitable
# The period the generated invitation token is valid.
# After this period, the invited resource won't be able to accept the invitation.
# When invite_for is 0 (the default), the invitation won't expire.
# config.invite_for = 2.weeks

or directly as parameters to the devise method:

devise :database_authenticatable, :confirmable, :invitable, invite_for: 2.weeks
  • invitation_limit: The number of invitations users can send. The default value of nil means users can send as many invites as they want, there is no limit for any user, invitation_limit column is not used. A setting of 0 means they can't send invitations. A setting n > 0 means they can send n invitations. You can change invitation_limit column for some users so they can send more or less invitations, even with global invitation_limit = 0.

  • invite_key: The key to be used to check existing users when sending an invitation. You can use multiple keys. This value must be a hash with the invite key as hash keys, and values that respond to the === operator (including procs and regexes). The default value is looking for users by email and validating with Devise.email_regexp.

  • validate_on_invite: force a record to be valid before being actually invited.

  • resend_invitation: resend invitation if user with invited status is invited again. Enabled by default.

  • invited_by_class_name: the class name of the inviting model. If this is nil, polymorphic association is used.

  • invited_by_foreign_key: the foreign key to the inviting model (only used if invited_by_class_name is set, otherwise :invited_by_id)

  • invited_by_counter_cache: the column name used for counter_cache column. If this is nil (default value), the invited_by association is declared without counter_cache.

  • allow_insecure_sign_in_after_accept: automatically sign in the user after they set a password. Enabled by default.

  • require_password_on_accepting: require password when user accepts the invitation. Enabled by default. Disable if you don't want to ask or enforce to set password while accepting, because is set when user is invited or it will be set later.

For more details, see config/initializers/devise.rb (after you invoked the devise_invitable:install generator described above).

Configuring views

All the views are packaged inside the gem. If you'd like to customize the views, invoke the following generator and it will copy all the views to your application:

rails generate devise_invitable:views

You can also use the generator to generate scoped views:

rails generate devise_invitable:views users

Then turn scoped views on in config/initializers/devise.rb:

config.scoped_views = true

Please refer to Devise's README for more information about views.

Configuring controllers

To change the controller's behavior, create a controller that inherits from Devise::InvitationsController. The available methods are: new, create, edit, and update. Refer to the original controllers source before editing any of these actions. Your controller might now look something like this:

class Users::InvitationsController < Devise::InvitationsController
  def update
    if some_condition
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

Now just tell Devise that you want to use your controller, the controller above is 'users/invitations', so our routes.rb would have this line:

devise_for :users, controllers: { invitations: 'users/invitations' }

be sure that you generate the views and put them into the controller that you generated, so for this example it would be:

rails generate devise_invitable:views users

To change behaviour of inviting or accepting users, you can simply override two methods:

…

Strong Parameters

When you customize your own views, you may end up adding new attributes to forms. Rails 4 moved the parameter sanitization from the model to the controller, causing DeviseInvitable to handle this concern at the controller as well. Read about it in Devise README

There are just two actions in DeviseInvitable that allows any set of parameters to be passed down to the model, therefore requiring sanitization. Their names and the permited parameters by default are:

  • invite (Devise::InvitationsController#create) - Permits only the authentication keys (like email)
  • accept_invitation (Devise::InvitationsController#update) - Permits invitation_token plus password and password_confirmation.

Here is an example of the steps needed to add a first_name, last_name and role to invited Users.

Caution: Adding roles requires additional security measures, such as preventing a standard user from inviting an administrator. Implement appropriate access controls to ensure system security.

Configuring your application controller to accept :first_name, :last_name, and :role for a User

Note: These modifications can be applied directly in the InvitationsController if not needed for other Devise actions.

  before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  protected

  # Permit the new params here.
  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:invite, keys: [:first_name, :last_name, :role])
  end

Define your roles in the User model

class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :models

  enum role: {Role 1 Name: 0, Role 2 Name: 1, Role 3 Name: 2, etc...}
end

In the Invitation view

<h2><%= t "devise.invitations.new.header" %></h2>

<%= form_for(resource, as: resource_name, url: invitation_path(resource_name), html: { method: :post }) do |f| %>
  <%= render "devise/shared/error_messages", resource: resource %>
  <% resource.class.invite_key_fields.each do |field| -%>
    

  <% end %>

  

  

  

  

<% end %>

Usage

Send an invitation

To send an invitation to a user, use the invite! class method. Note: This will create a user, and send an email for the invite. :email must be present in the parameters hash. You can also include other attributes in the hash. The record will not be validated.

User.invite!(email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe')
# => an invitation email will be sent to [email protected]

If you want to create the invitation but not send it, you can set skip_invitation to true.

user = User.invite!(email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe') do |u|
  u.skip_invitation = true
end
# => the record will be created, but the invitation email will not be sent

When generating the accept_user_invitation_url yourself, you must use the raw_invitation_token. This value is temporarily available when you invite a user and will be decrypted when received.

accept_user_invitation_url(invitation_token: user.raw_invitation_token)

When skip_invitation is used, you must also then set the invitation_sent_at field when the user is sent their token. Failure to do so will yield "Invalid invitation token" error when the user attempts to accept the invite. You can set the column, or call deliver_invitation to send the invitation and set the column:

user.deliver_invitation

You can add :skip_invitation to attributes hash if skip_invitation is added to attr_accessible.

User.invite!(email: '[email protected]', name: 'John Doe', skip_invitation: true)
# => the record will be created, but the invitation email will not be sent

skip_invitation skips sending the email, but sets invitation_token, so invited_to_sign_up? on the re
