Please let me know if I'm going about this the wrong way. I'm trying to add a couple custom attributes to a User in the create method as well as call my Analytics method if the user is saved.
I defined a new controller:
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
def create
build_resource(sign_up_params)
resource.public_id = Utilities::generate_code
resource.referral_code = Utilities::generate_code
if resource.save
Analytics.identify(
user_id: resource.id.to_s,
traits: { email: resource.email })
yield resource if block_given?
if resource.active_for_authentication?
set_flash_message :notice, :signed_up if is_flashing_format?
sign_up(resource_name, resource)
respond_with resource, :location => after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
else
set_flash_message :notice, :"signed_up_but_#{resource.inactive_message}" if is_flashing_format?
expire_data_after_sign_in!
respond_with resource, :location => after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
end
else
clean_up_passwords resource
respond_with resource
end
end
end
The only thing different in this create method is that I'm adding referral_code and public_id before the save and running Analytics after.
Analytics.identify(
user_id: resource.id.to_s,
traits: { email: resource.email })
When I create a user I'm getting
undefined method `is_flashing_format?' for #<RegistrationsController:0x007fdba130d9a8>
I don't understand why this method isn't being inherited. Is this even the proper way to modify devise or to add attributes/add analytics?
