merbful_authentication
=================
This is a port of the rails plugin "restful_authentication" by Rick Olson to the Merb Web Framework.
It is currently very freshly ported. Please report any bugs / patches to
has.sox /at/ gmail /dot/ com
You can find the original at http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication/
To use:
./script/generate authenticated user sessions \
--include-activation
The first parameter specifies the model that gets created in signup
(typically a user or account model). A model with migration is
created (if migrations are available), as well as a basic controller with the create method.
The second parameter specifies the sessions controller name. This is
the controller that handles the actual login/logout function on the
site.
The third parameter (--include-activation) generates the code for a
Mailer and the required support code. Don't forget to setup your mailer for this.
=== Currently supported ORMs
Active Record
Datamapper
=== Required Routes
At the moment this version of the plugin requires some named routes
In config/router.rb
r.resources :users
r.match("/login").to(:controller => "Sessions", :action => "create").name(:login)
r.match("/logout").to(:controller => "Sessions", :action => "destroy").name(:logout)
r.match("/users/activate/:activation_code").to(:controller => "Users", :action => "activate").name(:user_activation)
Note:
When using activation don't forget to setup your mailer.
