This will allow you to use devise's TokenAuthenticatable strategy while passing your :auth_token in using HTTP Authorization headers instead of params.

You can check it out using

curl -H "Authorization: Token token=XXXXXX, option=1" -vv http://railsapp.dev/api/v1/endpoint.json

It should properly authenticate using the token as well as set request.env['token.options'] to {"options" => "1"}.

Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

	# Define the validator
	# app/validators/array_validator.rb

	class ArrayValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
	def validate_each(record, attribute, values)
	Array(values).each do \|value\|
	options.each do \|key, args\|
	validator_options = { attributes: attribute }
	validator_options.merge!(args) if args.is_a?(Hash)

	Ruby 2.1.0 in Production: known bugs and patches

	Last week, we upgraded the github.com rails app to ruby 2.1.0 in production.
	While testing the new build for rollout, we ran into a number of bugs. Most of
	these have been fixed on trunk already, but I've documented them below to help
	anyone else who might be testing ruby 2.1 in production.

	@naruse I think we should backport these patches to the ruby_2_1 branch and
	release 2.1.1 sooner rather than later, as some of the bugs are quite critical.
	I'm happy to offer any assistance I can to expedite this process.
