Description

I am using DeviseTokenAuth for authentication in rails api. By using that signup and signin modules working fine. But but when I update it gives an error.
def update
if @resource
if @resource.send(resource_update_method, account_update_params)
yield @resource if block_given?
render_update_success
else
render_update_error
end
else
render_update_error_user_not_found
end
end
