Simple, multi-client and secure token-based authentication for Rails.

If you're building SPA or a mobile app, and you want authentication, you need tokens, not cookies. This gem refreshes the tokens on each request, and expires them in a short time, so the app is secure. Also, it maintains a session for each client/device, so you can have as many sessions as you want.

Main features

This project leverages the following gems:

Installation

Add the following to your Gemfile:

gem 'devise_token_auth'

Then install the gem using bundle:

bundle install
