Accessing the current client app using Doorkeeper

Question

I'm using Doorkeeper to manage client applications on a Rails-based API I'm building. I have a controller action in which I'd like to check some information about the client app that submitted the request which the action is handling.

Does Doorkeeper provide a helper or other easy way to access (in a controller) the Doorkeeper::Application that made the request being processed? I'm envisioning an analogue to Devise's 'current_user' method.

If no such helper exists, how can I get this information?

And now I've figured it out.

Doorkeeper provides doorkeeper_token, which can be accessed in the controller. This is a Doorkeeper::AccessToken object, which references the app the token belongs to (as doorkeeper_token.application). This is referenced (in the example code) here.

It looks like this answer may be outdated. I am not able to get `doorkeeper_token` or `doorkeeper_token.application` to work. It only returns `nil`. – Christopher Warrington Jun 30 '18 at 05:13
Also have `nil` in `doorkeeper_token.application`. How to tell Doorkeeper to fill this field ? – Henry Boisgibault Apr 01 '21 at 08:28
