generates_token_for

Episode #380 by Teacher's Avatar David Kimura

Summary

In Rails 7.1, we're going to get a new feature that will allow us to generate tokens for attributes. With generates_token_for, a token can embed data from a record. When using the token to fetch the record, the data from the token and the data from the record will be compared.
