Yesteday, I found out an interesting gem warden-github-rails reported by Ruby5. It allows developers using Github organization and team to manage routing permissions.

It is very useful. So I immediately implemented in our internaal applications. Here is Howto

Installation

https://github.com/fphilipe/warden-github-rails/

put in Gemfile

gem "warden-github-rails"

Register a application on Github

fill setting to config/config.yml ( using SettingsLogic )

  github_client_id: ""
  github_client_secret: ""
  github_organization: "rocodev"
  github_team: 
     name: "your_team_name"
     id: "team_interger_id" # github using interger id as team

Register an OAuth Application

get client_id / client_secret from Github Applicatio Registration

Config warden-github-rails

create a new file config/initializers/warden_github_rails.rb

Warden::GitHub::Rails.setup do |config|

  config.add_scope :admin, :client_id     => Setting.github_client_id,
                           :client_secret => Setting.github_client_secret ,                          
                           :scope         => 'user'

  config.default_scope = :admin

  config.add_team Setting.github_team.name, Setting.github_team.id
end

Set Rails routing

config/routes.rb

  github_authenticate(:org => Setting.github_organization, :team => Setting.github_team.name ) do
    namespace :admin do 
      root :to => "base#index"
      match '/logout' , :to => "base#logout", :as => :logout
    end
  end

Admin::BaseController

app/controllers/admin/base_controller.rb

class Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @is_admin = github_authenticated?(:admin)

    sign_user_from_github(github_user)
  end

  def logout
     github_logout
     sign_out current_user

     redirect_to root_path
  end


  protected


  def sign_user_from_github(github_user)
    user = User.find_or_create_from_github(github_user)
   
    sign_in user

   end
end

add find_or_create_from_github in User model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.find_or_create_from_github(github_user)

    user = User.where(:email => github_user.email).first
    
    if !user
      user = User.new
      user.email = github_user.email
      user.name = github_user.name
  
      user.password = Devise.friendly_token[0,20]
      user.save!
    end

    return user
  end
end

Enjoy!
