##Phone Verification

Phone verification sends a 5 digit number to the number of the user.
  • To enable phone verification edit the rails_jwt_api.rb in the initializers folder.
# Twilio configuration
  config.phone_verification = true # default: false
  # config.account_sid # default: Rails.application.credentials.dig(:twilio, :account_sid)
  # config.auth_token #  Rails.application.credentials.dig(:twilio, :auth_token)
  config.magic_number   # Rails.application.credentials.dig(:twilio, :magic_number)
  # config.verification_length = 5  # The length of the verification code
  • Configure twilio configuration in you credentials file like so
EDITOR="code --wait" rails:credentials edit --environment development
*Note you can also use ENV instead by replacing the configs in the inintialzer file.
twilio:
  account_sid: rerreqereqreqfdafdfd
  auth_token:  fdfadffdfjereqwrq
  magic_number: +2132545454
