Auth

Auth

Authentication with a web server using Backbone User model, supporting cookie-based and OAuth 2 via social logins.

Local drivers available are:

• std: Standard (bypass) auth with email and password
• facebook: SSO with Facebook

The module works with a Alloy user model, so you must put in your /app/models directory, a file called user.js:

exports.definition = {

	config : {
		adapter: {
			type: 'api',
			name: 'users'
		}
	},

};

To login in the API server, just call:

Auth.login({
	driver: 'std',
	data: { /* data passed to the driver */ },
	success: function() {
		/* Open dashboard */
	},
	error: function(err) {
		if (err.code === 403) {
			/* Make something different */
		}
	}
});

Once you're logged, you can obtain current user model with Auth.getUser() or current user ID with Auth.getUserID().

To just verify if the user is logged in, use Auth.isLoggedIn().

Once you have logged in almost one time, login data is available offline, so you can login with previous credentials (and previous driver, obviously) by using Auth.storedLogin().

if (Auth.isStoredLoginAvailable()) {
   Auth.storedLogin({
      success: function() { /* ... */ },
      error: function(err) { /* ... */ }
   });
}

Always check to Auth.isStoredLoginAvailable() before calling Auth.storedLogin()

If you're offline, calling Auth.storedLogin() you will be automatically logged in with stored user model.
