The following routes are available for use by your client. These routes live relative to the path at which this engine is mounted (auth
by default). These routes correspond to the defaults used by the ng-token-auth module for AngularJS and the jToker plugin for jQuery.

purpose
/
POST
Email registration. Requires email
, password
, password_confirmation
, and confirm_success_url
params (this last one can be omitted if you have set config.default_confirm_success_url
in config/initializers/devise_token_auth.rb
). A verification email will be sent to the email address provided. Upon clicking the link in the confirmation email, the API will redirect to the URL specified in confirm_success_url
. Accepted params can be customized using the system.
/
DELETE
Account deletion. This route will destroy users identified by their uid
, access-token
and client
headers.
/
PUT
Account updates. This route will update an existing user's account settings. The default accepted params are password
and password_confirmation
, but this can be customized using the system. If config.check_current_password_before_update
is set to :attributes
the current_password
param is checked before any update, if it is set to :password
the current_password
param is checked only if the request updates user password.
/sign_in
POST
Email authentication. Requires email
and password
as params. This route will return a JSON representation of the User
model on successful login along with the access-token
and client
in the header of the response.
/sign_out
DELETE
Use this route to end the user's current session. This route will invalidate the user's authentication token. You must pass in uid
, client
, and access-token
in the request headers.
/:provider
GET
Set this route as the destination for client authentication. Ideally this will happen in an external window or popup. .
/:provider/callback
GET/POST
Destination for the oauth2 provider's callback uri. postMessage
events containing the authenticated user's data will be sent back to the main client window from this page. .
/validate_token
GET
Use this route to validate tokens on return visits to the client. Requires uid
, client
, and access-token
as params. These values should correspond to the columns in your User
table of the same names.
/password
POST
Use this route to send a password reset confirmation email to users that registered by email. Accepts email
and redirect_url
as params. The user matching the email
param will be sent instructions on how to reset their password. redirect_url
is the url to which the user will be redirected after visiting the link contained in the email.
/password
PUT
Use this route to change users' passwords. Requires password
and password_confirmation
as params. This route is only valid for users that registered by email (OAuth2 users will receive an error). It also checks current_password
if config.check_current_password_before_update
is not set false
(disabled by default).
/password/edit
GET
Verify user by password reset token. This route is the destination URL for password reset confirmation. This route must contain reset_password_token
and redirect_url
params. These values will be set automatically by the confirmation email that is generated by the password reset request.
/confirmation
POST
Re-sends confirmation email. Requires email
and accepts redirect_url
params (this last one can be omitted if you have set config.default_confirm_success_url
in config/initializers/devise_token_auth.rb
).
