What gem / plugin authentication should I use for Rails 3 running on CouchDB?

Question

I am building a Rails 3 application on CouchDB (using SimplyStore gem) and I would like to use some existing gem / plugin for authentication instead of creating it from scratch.

The problem is that I cannot find anything that works smoothly for CouchDB, everything assumes that you are working in ActiveRecord. Do you have any tips?

Answer 1

Try using CouchRest_Model .

Answer 2

So in the end I used the highly tuned Clearance gem for authentication. It is very flexible, so you can even use it for a NoSQL database, but you need to rewrite most of the functionality (and not by fixing monkeys, all as part of the layout setup), which will probably require more effort to write an entire authentication with zero. Although a good enough solution, but I'm sure the best there.
