Add new fields in migration?

Navigation
1

Hello I'm working with Ruby On Rails, and for platform authentication I'm using gem 'devise'. I came across a situation where I need to add new fields for user registration (Date of birthday, gender, etc ...) and the device only provides me the basic resources (email, password). To add these fields do I need to simply put them inside the migration or do I need to do some extra steps?

Part of the code generated by devise:

def change create_table :members do |t| ## Database authenticatable t.string :email, null: false, default: '' t.string :encrypted_password, null: false, default: ''

To add new fields just do this?

def change create_table :members do |t| ## Database authenticatable t.string :email, null: false, default: '' t.string :encrypted_password, null: false, default: '' t.string :MEU_NOVO_CAMPO, null: true, default: ''

Thank you.

In addition to generating a migration with the new fields 

rails g migration AddNewFieldsToMembers

What will create the migrate 

class AddNewFieldsToMembers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :members, :field_name, :type
  end
end

You will still have to create the devise controller 

rails g devise:controller user

It will create a folder with user controllers. In these controllers you will have to add the fields in some methods to give access permission.

Yes, the path is to generate another migration that will add the new fields. Something like: 

rails g migration AddNewFieldsToMembers

class AddNewFieldsToMembers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :members, :field_name, :type
  end
end

Here you can see the list of available types for Rails version and specific database:
