Social Gems

Sometimes we need to make our project more 'social', so we add 'share' ability, log in with (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc), duplicating posts in social networks. There is a bit set of gems and articles in this field.

Omniauth

Habr post: devise + Omniauth + Facebook + VK (RUS), Devise wiki

Although you can add 'log in with ...' links to devise forms if add this code to:

  <!-- app/views/devise/shared/_links.html.erb -->

  <% if devise_mapping.omniauthable? %>
    <% resource_class.omniauth_providers.each do |provider| %>
      <%= link_to "Sign in with #{OmniAuth::Utils.camelize(provider)}", omniauth_authorize_path(resource_name, provider) %><br />
  <% end %>
