Rails : Check authentication when json request

I am new to Ruby on Rails

In my project, I request to get JSON and HTML format on index. But I want to check authentication for HTML request only not JSON request.

I used devise gem, for authentication.

on my Controller I set

skip_before_action :authenticate_user!, only[:index], if: -> { request.format.json? }

def index
  @products = Product.all
  respond_to do |format|

    format.html 
    format.json { render :json => @products }
  end
end

Currently JSON and HTML request doesn't ask for authentication

How do I achieve this?

Is there any way to check authentication on format.html { ... }

Thanks in advance

Try this:

  skip_before_action :authenticate_user!, if: :skip_authenticate_user

  def index 
    ...
  end

  protected
    def skip_authenticate_user
      action_name=='index'  && (request.format.json? || request.format.xml?)
    end
