Question

Here is a Ruby class:

class User
  devise :trackable, :confirmable
end

For most instances I want :confirmable to be present, but for some instances, I would like to remove :confirmable before instantiation.

QUESTION: How to remove :confirmable on-the-fly?

I would rather avoid creating a separate class.

Answer 1

devise :confirmable adds a number of methods to your model, one of which is skip_confirmation!:

If you don’t want confirmation to be sent on create, neither a code to
be generated, call skip_confirmation!

Example:

  user = User.new
  user.skip_confirmation!
