Yancy::Plugin::Auth::Basic - A simple auth module for a site
version 1.024
use Mojolicious::Lite; plugin Yancy => { backend => 'pg://localhost/mysite', collections => { users => { required => [ 'username', 'password' ], properties => { id => { type => 'integer', readOnly => 1 }, username => { type => 'string' }, password => { type => 'string', format => 'password' }, }, }, }, }; app->yancy->plugin( 'Auth::Basic' => { collection => 'users', username_field => 'username', password_field => 'password', password_digest => { type => 'SHA-1', }, } );
This plugin provides a basic authentication and authorization scheme for a Mojolicious site using Yancy. If a user is authenticated, they are then authorized to use the administration application and API.
This plugin has the following configuration options.
The name of the Yancy collection that holds users. Required.
The name of the field in the collection which is the user's identifier. This can be a user name, ID, or e-mail address, and is provided by the user during login.
This field is optional. If not specified, the collection's ID field will be used. For example, if the collection uses the username field as a unique identifier, we don't need to provide a username_field.
username
username_field
plugin Yancy => { collections => { users => { 'x-id-field' => 'username', properties => { username => { type => 'string' }, password => { type => 'string' }, }, }, }, }; app->yancy->plugin( 'Auth::Basic' => { collection => 'users', password_digest => { type => 'SHA-1' }, } );
The name of the field to use for the user's password. Defaults to password.
password
This field will automatically be set up to use the "auth.digest" filter to properly hash the password when updating it.
This is the hashing mechanism that should be used for passwords. There is no default, so you must configure one.
This value should be a hash of digest configuration. The one required field is type, and should be a type supported by the Digest module:
type
MD5 (part of core Perl)
SHA-1 (part of core Perl)
SHA-256 (part of core Perl)
SHA-512 (part of core Perl)
Bcrypt (recommended)
Additional fields are given as configuration to the Digest module. Not all Digest types require additional configuration.
# Use Bcrypt for passwords # Install the Digest::Bcrypt module first! app->yancy->plugin( 'Auth::Basic' => { password_digest => { type => 'Bcrypt', cost => 12, salt => 'abcdefgh♥stuff', }, } );
The root route that this auth module should protect. Defaults to protecting only the Yancy editor application.
This module uses Mojolicious sessions to store the login information in a secure, signed cookie.
To configure the default expiration of a session, use Mojolicious::Sessions default_expiration.
use Mojolicious::Lite; # Expire a session after 1 day of inactivity app->sessions->default_expiration( 24 * 60 * 60 );
To override these templates in your application, provide your own template with the same name.
This template displays the login form. The form should have two fields, username and password, and perform a POST request to url_for 'yancy.check_login'
POST
url_for 'yancy.check_login'
This template displays an error message that the user is not authorized to view this page. This most-often appears when the user is not logged in.
The layout that Yancy uses when displaying the login form, the unauthorized error message, and other auth-related pages.
This module provides the following filters. See "Extended Field Configuration" in Yancy for how to use filters.
Run the field value through the configured password Digest object and store the Base64-encoded result instead.
This plugin adds the following Mojolicious helpers:
The route object that requires authentication. Add your own routes as children of this route to require authentication for your own routes.
my $auth_route = $app->yancy->auth->route; $auth_route->get( '/', sub { my ( $c ) = @_; return $c->render( data => 'You are authorized to view this page', ); } );
Get/set the currently logged-in user. Returns undef if no user is logged-in.
undef
my $user = $c->yancy->auth->current_user || return $c->render( status => 401, text => 'Unauthorized' );
To set the current user, pass in the username.
$c->yancy->auth->current_user( $username );
my $user = $c->yancy->auth->get_user( $username );
Get a user item by its username.
Check a username and password to authenticate a user. Returns true if the user is authenticated, or returns false.
NOTE: Does not change the currently logged-in user.
if ( $c->yancy->auth->check( $username, $password ) ) { # Authentication succeeded $c->yancy->auth->current_user( $username ); }
Clear the currently logged-in user (logout).
$c->yancy->auth->clear;
This class is intended to be extended for custom authentication modules. You can replace any of the templates or helpers (above) that you need after calling this class's register method.

If this API is not enough to implement your authentication module, please let me know and we can add a solution. If all authentication modules have the same API, it will be better for users.
