How do I fetch the access token for a user using the Twitter gem and the Omniauth gem when the users is already logged in?
Currently I authenticate the user using omniauth. This looks like this in my sessions controller and works well:
def create
auth = request.env['omniauth.auth']
unless @auth = Authentication.find_from_hash(auth)
# Create a new user or add an auth to existing user, depending on
# whether there is already a user signed in.
@auth = Authentication.create_from_hash(auth, current_user)
end
# Log the authorizing user in.
self.current_user = @auth.user
redirect_to authentications_url, :notice => "You've signed in!"
end
After this, I've stored the twitter uid in my authentications table (I also use linkedin, facebook) and I think that the twitter sessions has been closed.
How do I now authenticate so that I can use the Twitter gem? I think it should be something like this if I was calling it right after the 开发者_运维百科omniauth callback.
token = auth['credentials']['token'],
secret = auth['credentials']['secret']
Twitter.oauth_token = token
Twitter.oauth_token_secret = secret
I clearly need to restart the session and put the token and secret in the right place. How can I create a method to do this?
You need to store both the token and the secret provided by Twitter in your authentications table (Authentication.create_from_hash
). As long as you're doing that, this should work:
twitter_credentials = current_user.authorizations.find_by_provider(:twitter)
Twitter.oauth_token = twitter_credentials.token
Twitter.oauth_token_secret = twitter_credentials.token_secret
That's assuming that in your authentications table you store the Twitter token and secret as token
and token_secret
, as well as storing the provider as twitter
