Manual Authentication and Registration

[NicholasLYang]

Hi, so I'm attempting to integrate devise_token_auth and graphql_ruby. Namely, I want authentication for some of my mutations. However, I'm struggling with finding a way to manually create users and authenticate them without going through the usual request routes. Is there a helper function or something for creating users? Thanks!

Hey @NicholasLYang how about User.create(user_params)? Not sure why you need to use a special DTA method to create a user. There is a special DTA method for auth though! See valid_token in the docs:

Main issue with just creating the user is it doesn't trigger the confirmable email. Though actually...I can just do that manually. Alright, that works. Thanks!
