I have a model User and when I
create one, I want
to pragmatically setup some API keys and what not, specifically:
@user.apikey = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(BCrypt::Password.create("jibberish").to_s)
I want
to be able
to run User.create!(:email=>"
[email protected]") and have it
create a user with a randomly generated API key, and secret.
I currently am doing this in the controller, but when I tried
to add a default user
to the seeds.rb file, I am getting an SQL error (saying my apikey is null).
I tried overriding the save definition, but that seemed
to cause problems when I updated the model, because it would override the values. I tried overriding the initialize definition, but that is returning a nil:NilClass and breaking things.
Is there a better way
to do this?
