#
# <tt>SecureRandom::base58</tt> is used to generate the 24-character unique token, so collisions are highly unlikely.
#
+ # A secure token can also be only created given a condition, for example if a user should only have an
+ # auto-generated invitation token if the user was invited:
+ #
+ # # Schema: User(token:string, invited:boolean)
+ # class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # has_secure_token if: :invited?
+ # end
+ #
+ # user = User.new(invited: true)
+ # user.save
+ # user.token # => "pX27zsMN2ViQKta1bGfLmVJE"
+ #
+ # user = User.new(invited: false)
+ # user.save
+ # user.token # => nil
+ #
+ # The secure token creation supports all the options a `before_create` does - like +:if+ and +:unless+.
+ #
# Note that it's still possible to generate a race condition in the database in the same way that
# {validates_uniqueness_of}[rdoc-ref:Validations::ClassMethods#validates_uniqueness_of] can.
# You're encouraged to add a unique index in the database to deal with this even more unlikely scenario.
