Description

The auth guide is great! Thank you for that.

I am using Sorcery for authentication, where the user_id is stored in a session, and not in a cookie, which might be the case for other authentication libraries. It took me a bit of searching to understand how to access the session from the Action Cable connection.

Why should this be added

Save time for other users with user_id in session storage.

Let's do this! I'm going to go with it, but if I find out later that you're making this up, there's gonna be trouble. ;)

Sorry for the churn. I accidentally ruined my morning by merging this. GitBook attempts to auto merge. Stay tuned.

Sorry for the revert revert shit show. I think everything is good now, except for the whole part where I probably denied @mtomov credit.

Long story short: if you ever merge in something that touches a documentation page while there are active drafts, GitBook shits the bed and treats the entire document as a series of merge conflicts. Regardless of which source you choose, you still end up with two copies of everything. It's like they never tested the feature.
