how to get first name and last name of user

[anklos]

Hi there,

this gem seems only retrieves name field from auth provider, rather than first_name and last_name: https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth/blob/master/app/controllers/devise_token_auth/omniauth_callbacks_controller.rb#L84

Is there a way to get first_name and last_name by using this gem?

Thanks!

Auth provider provides name instead of first_name and last_name. You can split it to get first_name and last_name.

first_name = auth_hash['info']['name'].split(' ').first
last_name = auth_hash['info']['name'].split(' ').last

You can also just remove the name column add those columns to the User migration.

@lynndylanhurley it will automatically work? that would be really nice.

if i keep the name and add first_name and last_name into the User migration, does all three columns get value stored?

Thanks!

I don't think it will automatically work @anklos , I think you have to override some of the create user methods. Feel free to reopen if you need help with that.
