How to implement the authentication system using emberjs and rails3?

Question

I'm building a app using emberjs and active_model_serializer.

I searched a lot to find out on how to implement the authentication/authorization with emberjs and rails, but couldn't.

Has anyone done this?

I am currently working on this kind of topic: I am using Devise, and have tried two kind of solutions:

Either use navigation for auth, delegating the whole process to Devise's standard controllers & views,
Or you can wrap Devise's controllers to return JSON to a pure single page application.

I tried both and all is working well. To inconvenient with #1 is the 'old fashioned' blink at auth navigation. Solution #2 has my preference.

Here is an example of Devise auth wrapping in JSON:

class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController

  def create
    resource = warden.authenticate!(auth_options)
    sign_in(resource_name, resource)
    render(json: resource, status: :ok) and return
  end

  ...

The point that is still annoying me is that I had to completely override controller method, to avoid double rendering, as Devise is not yet designed to have customizable rendering.
