Multiple Devise Users sharing a dashboard
Hi,
I have currently two Devise models Company and Contractor.
When they sign in I want to redirect them to a dashboard page. At the moment I have a before_action on the dashboard controller that only allows authenticate_company! so when a contractor signs in they can't view the dashboard.
Anyone done something like this before? Also is there an easy way to check which user is currently logged in so that I can show them different partial views?
Thanks in advance
Hey Stephen,
I would just make a custom before_action:
before_action :authenticate_company_or_contractor!
def authenticate_company_or_contractor!
redirect_to root_path, alert: "You aren't allowed to do that" unless company_signed_in? || contractor_signed_in?
end
And voila. You're done. This is basically the exact same thing that authenticate_user!
(or company or contractor, etc) implement behind the scenes. Nothin fancy!
