WebAuthn Rails Demo App

Application demonstrating a WebAuthn password-less login built with Ruby on Rails + webauthn ruby gem.

Gem Update Policy

Gemfile Version Constraints

In Gemfile define gem dependencies using a version contrainst of ~> MAJOR.MINOR by default (or ~> 0.MINOR.PATCH if latest MAJOR is 0), unless you have reasons to use something different. An example of an exception could be rails, which is known to make backwards-incompatible changes in minor level updates, so in that case we use ~> MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

Updating

$ gem install bundler-audit
$ bundle audit --update
$ bundle update --conservative --group test development
$ bundle update --strict --patch
$ bundle update --strict --minor
$ bundle update --major
$ bundle outdated --groups
