- Authentication
- Authorization
- As a registered user, I should be able to log in by providing my username (no passwords for today)
- Does my schema need to change
- Do i need any additional routes /login
Task: Look in our database, see if a user with that username exists, if found, set that users id into the session cookie
redirect to the students#index
- On the student index page add, "Welcome " else show the user the login form again
- As an un-authenticated user, I should be able to see a list of students and information about an individual student. As an authenticated user I should be able to do all of the above plus create a new user. If an un-authorized user tries to see the new student form, they should be redirected to the login page.
How can I make the current user available in all of my controllers and in my views
