Set up a new API application controller not working?

[alexonozor]

I have namespaced the route just septate it from the application controller. However the request for login and creating a new user as still using the application controller which is causing my application to break since I've active admin there. How do I explicitly tell the devise_token__auth which base controller to use.

here is the structure of my application.

app/controller/application_controller.rb - for devise and active admin

app/controller/api_controller.rb - here is the controller I want to use for the devise auth token.

route.rb

  devise_for :users

  
  namespace :api do
    scope :v1 do
      mount_devise_token_auth_for 'User', at: 'auth'
    end
  end

Hi, I'm not sure if I get your issue clearly.

If you want a user to sign in via devise token auth, he should sign in at "app/api/v1/sign_in" (via POST and maybe JSON format)

After this, all your api related requests should goes to your api related controller. I would recommend you read this https://labs.kollegorna.se/blog/2015/04/build-an-api-now/ (it's not using devise auth token for authentication, but other parts should work for your case)

Hope it works.
