Dear all,

I’ve saw a plugin called restful\_auth several times in rails  
community, but I couldn’t find any resources on how to use it. Does  
anyone know how to install and use it? Help really appreciated.

Best regards,

if you’re looking for restful\_authentication, ther is a railscast for  
it:

Assuming the same as MaD that you mean restful\_authentication, it’s also  
documented pretty well within the plugin itself. Start with the README  
file. Then after running it’s generator take a look at the files created  
in the lib folder. I found it to be pretty clean and easy to understand.

Yes. I typed restful\_auth because everyone use that. No wonder I can  
not find it on github. Thanks!
