How to add another parameter to validate a user?

[newfylox]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a simple solution to add another parameter with email to register a user or find a user. Right now find_resource is only using email but I would like to do something like this

where(email: my_email, my_param: my_other_param)

so it would be a where clause on email AND my_param for every calls (register, login, logout, etc.)

Or a better solution would be to override that line

validates :email, uniqueness: { scope: :provider }, on: :create, if: :email_provider?

to make sure it's uniqueness with provider AND my_other_param.

I was thinking about relying on another column instead of email like username (so I would concatenate email and my_other_param as a username but it seems it does that validation before using my username. Am I wrong?

I don't want to override all the controllers or copy a whole file from your gem because I want to be sure that every time I update your gem, I stay up to date.

Thanks!

Well, you can return false in email_provider?, and do your own validation. This isn't a login with multiple fields, it's more a special case, and this gem is already overloaded with special cases.

Let me know if I can help you in another way.

Welll to be honest, I would like a way to override that part

https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth/blob/master/app/controllers/devise_token_auth/concerns/resource_finder.rb#L29

resource_class.where(MY_CUSTOM_CLAUSE).where(q, value).first

I would like to add another where clause based on a custom field (that could have been set in the initializer for example). I would like to override find_resource in a easy way. I would like to make that change permanent (not only when logging but also registering, token, reset password, etc.)

@newfylox Sorry for the delay, you can override find_resource entirely. I don't see another easy way to do it
