In this tutorial we will build upon the app created at Simple Password Authentication so make sure you understand it.

API was changed in v0.3.1 and configuration file changed in v0.4.0, please see changelog

Known issues: there are some bugs with this module in v0.2.0 that were fixed in v0.2.1, so be sure to use the latest gem! This tutorial is updated for v0.4.0

First Add some db fields:

rails g sorcery:install external --migrations

Which will create:

class SorceryExternal < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :authentications do |t|
      t.integer :user_id, :null => false
      t.string :provider, :uid, :null => false
    
      t.timestamps
    end
  end
    
  def self.down
    drop_table :authentications
  end
end
rake db:migrate

And generate the model Authentication without migration:

rails g model Authentication --migration=false

Let's add the submodule and configuration:

# config/initializers/sorcery.rb
Rails.application.config.sorcery.submodules = [:external, blabla, blablu, ...]

Rails.application.config.sorcery.configure do |config|
  ...
  config.external_providers = [:twitter, :facebook]
      
  config.twitter.key = "<your key here>"
  config.twitter.secret = "<your key here>"
  config.twitter.callback_url = "http://0.0.0.0:3000/oauth/callback?provider=twitter"
  config.twitter.user_info_mapping = {:username => "screen_name"}
      
  config.facebook.key = "<your key here>"
  config.facebook.secret = "<your key here>"
  config.facebook.callback_url = "http://0.0.0.0:3000/oauth/callback?provider=facebook"
  config.facebook.user_info_mapping = {:email => "email", :name => "name", :username => "username", :hometown => "hometown/name"} #etc
  config.facebook.scope = "email,offline_access,user_hometown,user_interests,user_likes" #etc
  config.facebook.display = "popup"
  ...

  # --- user config ---
  config.user_config do |user|
  ...

    # -- external --
    user.authentications_class = Authentication
    ...

  end
  ...
   
end

You will need to register your app with Twitter/Facebook to get your keys of course.

The 'user_info_mapping' takes care of converting the user info from the provider (Twitter/Facebook) into the attributes that your user has, in this case we only used it to have a username.

Now we need to associate User with Authentication:

# app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :authentications_attributes
  authenticates_with_sorcery! do |config|
    config.authentications_class = Authentication
  end

  has_many :authentications, :dependent => :destroy
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :authentications
end
# app/models/authentication.rb
class Authentication < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :user_id, :provider, :uid
  belongs_to :user
end

Let's add links to connect to Twitter and Facebook (you would probably use images in a real app):

# app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
...
<%= link_to 'Login with Twitter', auth_at_provider_path(:provider => :twitter) %> | 
<%= link_to 'Login with Facebook', auth_at_provider_path(:provider => :facebook) %>

We'll need a controller to handle the authentications:

rails g controller Oauths oauth callback

# app/controllers/oauths_controller.rb
class OauthsController < ApplicationController
  skip_before_filter :require_login
      
  # sends the user on a trip to the provider,
  # and after authorizing there back to the callback url.
  def oauth
    login_at(params[:provider])
  end
      
  def callback
    provider = params[:provider]
    if @user = login_from(provider)
      redirect_to root_path, :notice => "Logged in from #{provider.titleize}!"
    else
      begin
        @user = create_from(provider)
        # NOTE: this is the place to add '@user.activate!' if you are using user_activation submodule

        reset_session # protect from session fixation attack
        auto_login(@user)
        redirect_to root_path, :notice => "Logged in from #{provider.titleize}!"
      rescue
        redirect_to root_path, :alert => "Failed to login from #{provider.titleize}!"
      end
    end
  end
end

Let's add routes for this controller:

# config/routes.rb
match "oauth/callback" => "oauths#callback"
match "oauth/:provider" => "oauths#oauth", :as => :auth_at_provider

Basically how this works is like this: The user asks to login using a provider. We send the user to authorize at the provider's site, and he is then redirected back. If he doesn't exist in our db, he is auto-created and logged in. If he already exists in our db, he just gets logged in.
