[SOLVED] Rails. Create Devise users directly from Administrate panel

Rails. Create Devise users directly from Administrate panel

I'm using devise to create users directly from console, in consequence not using the :registerable module.

The way to create users from the console is by providing email, password and password_conformation this way:

User.create(email: 'john@hotmail.com', password: '1234', password_conformation: '1234')

Now I have installed the Administrate gem and I would like to be able to create users directly from there. I already can edit custom fields and destroy users, but I don't know how to create them since neither password or password_confirmation belongs to the User table. Any Thoughts?

Solution

I added the password and password_confirmation fields to the dashboard and it worked like a charm, following I have included a sample of the dashboard with the relevant fields.

require "administrate/base_dashboard"

class AdminUserDashboard < Administrate::BaseDashboard

  ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = {
    .
    .
    .
    password: Field::String,
    password_confirmation: Field::String,
    .
    .
    .
  }.freeze

  # FORM_ATTRIBUTES
  FORM_ATTRIBUTES = %i[
  .
  .
  .
  password
  password_confirmation
  .
  .
  .
  ].freeze

end

I tested this on:

Rails 6
Devise 4.7.1
Administrate 0.12.0
