How should the Rails app be set up?

You must first configure your Rails app and WordPress installation to work together. For instructions on how to do that, and a possible way to share a theme between WordPress and Rails is here: Rails Theme

In your routes.rb file:

get ‘/authentication/user’ => “authentication#user”

after logging in and logging out, insert this statement:

write_user_cookie()

Add this to authentication_controller.rb:

#GET /authentication/user.json def user     user = read_user_cookie(params[:id])     obj = { user: user }     puts obj.to_json()     respond_to do |format|         format.json { render :json => { user: user } }     end end  private  def get_crypt     key = ActiveSupport::KeyGenerator.new(Rails.application.secrets.secret_key_base).generate_key("read-current-user")     crypt = ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor.new(key)     return crypt end  def write_user_cookie     crypt = get_crypt()     cookie_name = Rails.application.config.session_options[:key] + '2'     id = current_user.present? ? current_user.id : 0     cookies[cookie_name] = crypt.encrypt_and_sign(id) end  def read_user_cookie(cookie)     crypt = get_crypt()     id = crypt.decrypt_and_verify(cookie)      user = User.where(id: id).first     if user.present? && !user.disabled         name = user.first_name + ' ' + user.last_name         return { email: user.email,                  first_name: user.first_name,                  last_name: user.last_name,                  url: '', description: '',                  username: user.email,                  login: user.email,                  nickname: name,                  display_name: name         }     else         return ''     end end
