Accessing Devise user fields in React with React on Rails

Question

I'm trying to access the Devise attribute invitation_accepted_at in my Users objects in Users#index. The devise attributes are returned in my controller method, as well as to the Rails view. But are being lost when passed over to React in the JSX state object.

users_controller.rb

  def index
    @users = User.all
  end

users/index.html.erb

<%= react_component("User", props: {
  users: @users
  }) %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'user' %>

User.jsx

// . . .

export default class User extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { users: this.props.users };
  }

// . . .

When I do a console.log( this.state.users ), I get the original objects, but without the Devise attributes.

Is this possible? Or am I missing steps?

I think you are being impacted by the implicit hash conversion. In a debug session of your controller, see what @users.to_hashis outputting (I believe it should match what you are seeing in your console log). Try updating the value you are passing to react to be @users.attributes and see if that contains what you are looking for.
