How to use simple_form to submit a form to database in Rails?

Question

I have a blog app that uses Devise for auth. I want users to be able to have a profile, how would I do that using the simple_form gem?

I tried:

rails g controller AuthorProfiles

rails g migration add_author_profile_to_users description:text

You can add your new parameters directly to Devise. When the user goes to edit their profile, you can add the additional parameters there and they can fill them out or change them. Check out the docs .
