has_secure_token

Create uniques random tokens for any model in ruby on rails. Backport of ActiveRecord::SecureToken 5 to AR 3.x and 4.x

HasSecureToken provides an easy way to generate uniques random tokens for any model in ruby on rails. SecureRandom::base58 is used to generate the 24-character unique tokens, so collisions are highly unlikely.

Note If you’re worried about possible collissions, there’s a way to generate a race condition in the database in the same way that validates_uniqueness_of can. You’re encouraged to add an unique index in the database to deal with this even more unlikely scenario.
