Rails 5 model objects that do not display all Devise attributes

Question

I am using the Rails 5 API with development. I have a User model. The scheme is as follows.

 create_table "users", force: :cascade do |t| t.string "email", default: "", null: false t.string "encrypted_password", default: "", null: false t.string "reset_password_token" t.datetime "reset_password_sent_at" t.datetime "remember_created_at" t.integer "sign_in_count", default: 0, null: false t.datetime "current_sign_in_at" t.datetime "last_sign_in_at" t.inet "current_sign_in_ip" t.inet "last_sign_in_ip" t.datetime "created_at", null: false t.datetime "updated_at", null: false t.index ["email"], name: "index_users_on_email", unique: true, using: :btree t.index ["reset_password_token"], name: "index_users_on_reset_password_token", unique: true, using: :btree end 

But the problem I ran into is Rails showing only attributes :id , :email , :created_at , :updated_at as part of the model. For example, in the rails console

  User.new => #<User id: nil, email: "", created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> User.first User Load (0.5ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" ORDER BY "users"."id" ASC LIMIT $1 [["LIMIT", 1]] => #<User id: 2, email: " [e-mail] ", created_at: "2016-09-22 03:58:04", updated_at: "2016-09-22 04:54:41"> 

But these attributes exist in the database. This issue is mentioned earlier. Work out rails 5 . But there are no answers. Please, help.

Answer 1

Devise restricts attributes such as encrypted_password so that critical information does not appear in API calls. To override this, you need to override the serializable_hash method.

 def serializable_hash(options = nil) super(options).merge(encrypted_password: encrypted_password) end 

This is not a special Rails 5 function, but a Devise function to protect your attributes.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Perhaps this is due to the fact that devise does not disclose its internal attributes.

So, to get all the attributes, you can use .attributes (registered here ), which returns a hash that you can call to_json

 user = User.find(1) user.attributes.to_json # => contains all fields like reset_password_token etc. 

Answer 3

Try the attributes method

 User.first.attributes
