DESCRIPTION

This mixin may be added to a model to give your user accounts a name and an email address. This module may be used as the basic building block for building account models in your application. It can be combined with mixins from an authentication plugin to create an object suitable for a given authentication mechanism.

SCHEMA

This mixin model adds the following columns to the model.

name

This is the username/nickname for the user of the account.

email

This is the email address of the account. It is intended as a bare minimum confirmation of identity and for communication of password resets and other account information.

email_confirmed

This is a flag indicating whether the user has confirmed ownership of the given email address.

METHODS

set_email ADDRESS

Whenever a user's email is set to a new value, we need to make sure they reconfirm it.

validate_email

Makes sure that the email address looks like an email address and is not taken.
