Hi, API is no different from your regular rails controller / actions. As both respond to a particular request but API doesn't use sessions. so your currrent_user is created from token, not sessions. for angular as the front end, you dont have to create an api. Your regular routes works fine . If you still want to turn your app into API they you can use grape gem <https://github.com/intridea/grape> . I will help you set up the boilerplate.
