Ruby on Rails , Gem Devise Customization

Hi i am currently working on my Ruby on Rails project and i wanted to customize the devise gem but my problem is that i cant seem to find some tutorials on how to customize devise more specifically customizing the login, parameters.

I already customized the login and the view of the device , but my problem is it doesn't seem to create the username , firstname , lastnamge , age , etc.

and it only gets the email and password etc. the basic stuff

i know the documentation is great and all specially because it is complete but my problem is that i find it a bit hard to follow specially when i cant see the video or how can i customize what i can put inside in the devise if anybody can help me with this , or any information on some tutorials with actually doing what i specified above that would be great and will really be appreciated , and please i am a bit new on RoR so i find it a bit difficult in just reading the text so i need some vdeo and thanks!

this is the what the rails console returned after taking your advice, here is the code that you can clone 

https://github.com/sanchez900/gamification.git

that is the code before I did the changes like the 

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

protected

def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) << :username
end
end

i also did this

rails generate devise:views

also did the controllers rails generate devise:controllers users

did the routes devise_for :users, controllers: { sessions: "users/sessions" }

some other info might help also the project clone / link is before i did the modifications

If you had setup your view correctly to submit all the addition parameters, then you need to do as instructed in the docs https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#strong-parameters.

You need to update your permitted parameters on your sign up form to accept the new parameters you need. To do this, you can set a before filter to configure the permitted params for your devise controllers. Try something like this in your application controller.

    before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

    def configure_permitted_parameters
      devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit(:first_name, :last_name, :profile_name) }
    end

you need to explicitly write it as above (or use .push if you prefer)
