inertia-rails-auth

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides clear, repeatable patterns to implement authentication and authorization in Inertia Rails applications, ensuring consistent security practices across the stack.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Devise-based authentication: setup, sign-in, sign-out flows, and session management integrated with Inertia.
• Authorization patterns: integration with Pundit or Action Policy to enforce per-user permissions on controllers and views.
• Frontend state sharing: standardizes how current_user and signed_in state are exposed to Vue/React components via inertia_share.
• CSRF & protected routes: ensures CSRF protection and secure route access; supports role-based access control for admin areas.
• Quick Start Scenarios: provide ready-made scaffolding for login, registration, password reset, and protected pages in both Vue and React frontends.

Quick Start

1. Add the authentication and authorization gems (e.g., devise, pundit or action_policy) to your Gemfile and run bundle install.
2. Generate user model and authentication controllers, then wire inertia shares in ApplicationController.
3. Implement policies and frontend guards, and apply protected routes in Rails and Inertia components.
