Question

In my Rails app, what would be the way to access a Devise config variable directly from a view?

I want to show config.allow_unconfirmed_access_for from Devise’s :confirmable module. This variable is set in devise.rb initializer:

Devise.setup do
  config.allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 3.days
end

Thanks!

Answer 1

The configurations on devise.rb file are replicated on your Devise model, so if your Devise resource is User, you should be able to access it through User.allow_unconfirmed_access_for.

So, create an instance variable on your controller and assign this value to it, and then you’ll be able to show it on your view.
