bin/rails g model user first_name last_name email password_digest
rake db:migrate- User model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base

end- now we can do something like:
2.2.3 :001 > u = User.new

- Adds methods to set and authenticate against a BCrypt password.
- This mechanism requires you to have a password_digest attribute.
- there are a few validations: password present, length, ..
# Use ActiveModel has_secure_password
gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'- Modify the user model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# attr_accessor :password
# attr_accessor :password_confirmation
# more info about has_secure_password can be found here:
# http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/SecurePassword/ClassMethods.html
has_secure_password
validates :password, length: {minimum: 6}
validates :first_name, presence: true
validates :last_name, presence: true
validates :email, presence: true,
uniqueness: true,
format: /\A([\w+\-]\.?)+@[a-z\d\-]+(\.[a-z]+)*\.[a-z]+\z/i
end- test out the has_secure_password model
