Is it easy to add e-mail verification down the road with restful_authentication?

Question

Working on a new app and using restful-authentication. I was trying to make it as simple as possible to start and then iterate, so I didn't generate with the activation email functionality, planning to add it later down the road. Is there an easy way to do this later on using the existing plugin?

Answer 1

Yes, you can just rerun the generator with option -include-validation. It will add extra code to your model user and session.

Answer 2

If you're just starting you should take a look at clearance by thoughtbot. It's a great authentication plugin.
