I'm building an app where I want to add an online status for a given user.
I know that Devise has a method user_signed_in? built in to check if the user who is using the app is signed in or not. But when I try to use it for a different user like this:
user_signed_in?(user)
user.user_signed_in?
I obviously get an undefined method error.
Does Devise have a method for this or do I have to write my own? One approach was to store the online status of a given user in the user model. What's the best solution to this?
I have used Devise on my applications and experienced some of the same problems as you when I first began working with it. You are merely using the helper methods incorrectly. If you'd like to check if the current user has a session and is signed in, you use the helper as such:
if user_signed_in?
which is essentially the same statement as:
if !current_user.nil? && current_user.signed_in
If you'd like to check if a user object is signed in, then you call this: (where user is a User Model Object)
if user.signed_in?
I'm not the author of Devise, but from what I can tell of Warden / Devise neither keep track of who is logged in.
The problem with having an is_online column in the User table is that it is difficult to see who is active on the website. I would add a column to your User model called last_seen as a date-time, and update that with Devise every time the user requests a page. You could then easily add a User.online_count method or also see if a user has been seen at the website in the last 5 minutes.
