Example of a rails 5 api with token generatora and upload base 64 image

---

For testing I recommend using Postman :)

Working on local

• Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/CMarzin/rails-api-with-token-generator.git

• Install dependency

bundle install

• Run migration and seed

rails db:migrate && rails db:seed

• Run the server

rails s

Working on production env ( Heroku )

I assume you already have the Heroku CLI installed

WARNING

Rails 5 disables autoloading in production.

The three options are:

1. Move lib/json_web_token.rb into app/lib/ so rails loads it automatically
2. Use eager loading instead of autoloading: config.eager_load_paths << Rails.root.join('lib')
3. Force rails to allow autoloading: config.enable_dependency_loading = true

I choose to do the first option

Thanks to Kevin Holler who discovered the issue.

• Create an app heroku
• Add the heroku remote

heroku git:remote -a the-name-of-your-app

• Push to heroku

git push heroku master

That's it :)
