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.
| path | method | 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 devise_parameter_sanitizer 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 devise_parameter_sanitizer 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. Read more. |
| /: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. Read more. |
| /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). |
