When you have introduced devise but want to add more columns

Try using devise

I introduced devise, but isn't there a time when this is the only column?

This time I will explain how to add columns! !!

1. Add a column to the users table

This time we will add a name column. Execute the following command in the terminal.

$ rails g migration AddNameToUsers name:string

$ rails db:migrate

2. Edit application_controller.rb

Let's edit application_controller.rb as follows. The name column is now saved when you register as a user.

app/controllers/application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  protected
  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name])
  end
end

* As it is, the name column is included only at the time of registration, so even if you change the name by editing, it will not be changed.

3. Let's make it possible to edit the columns added at the time of editing!

app/controllers/application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

  protected
  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name])
    <!--Let's add the corresponding description at the time of editing as follows-->
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:name])
  end
end

The data is now reflected when editing: point_up_tone2:
