Grape with devise token auth, authenticate methods not available

Question

I have a rails app with grape integrated, i tried to integrate devise token auth, and i was able to sign up/sign in with the urls mentioned in the pdf.

But i do face a problem with grape i could nt use methods like user_signed_in? or authenticate_user! inside grape api, included concerns in user model or controller doesnt work here.

i have tried to integrate these methods inside the grape by calling some files like

require  '........'

Is there any way to require files and call these methods inside grape api.

Have you resolved this issue? There is a specific gem that uses devise_token_auth that works with grape. https://github.com/mcordell/grape_devise_token_auth. Setting that up should help solve your issue.

GrapeDeviseTokenAuth gem is a compatibility layer between devise_token_auth and grape. It is useful when mounting a grape API in a rails application where devise (or devise_token_auth + devise) is already present. It is reliant on devise_token_auth and devise, therefore it is not suitable for grape where these are not present. If you are looking for a pure grape solution, you should check out grape_token_auth.
