Rails routing and Knock

Question

This question may be a bit trivial, but I'm new in rails. I use Knock to authenticate api users with JWT, and my routes.rb looks like this:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :news_articles

  mount Knock::Engine => "/sessions"
end

According to knock docs, it creates a route 'POST /sessions/auth_token', how can i alias 'POST /sessions/auth_token' to just 'POST /sessions' via rails conf?

Answer 1

The latest version (1.5) of knock doesn't need the engine to be mounted anymore.

Instead you can run the token controller generator

$ rails generate knock:token_controller user

This will add the following in config/routes.rb

post 'user_token' => 'user_token#create'

You can simply modify this route to fit your needs.
