Details

This provides one top-level method:

sign_in(options=nil) => true for success, false for failure

The top level method will call mid-level methods that you will define in your own controller.

sign_in calls:

sign_in_attempt(options=nil), e.g. authenticate and set current user
sign_in_success(options=nil), e.g. redirect to a welcome page
sign_in_failure(options=nil), e.g. flash notice help messesage

AuthLogic Example

AuthLogic provides this example:

def create
  # sign in attempt
  @user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session])
  if @user_session.save
    # sign in success
    redirect_to account_url
  else
    # sign in failure
    render :action => :new
  end
end

AuthLogic example refactored for improved security and structure:

def sign_in_attempt
  @user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session])
  @user_session.save
end

def sign_in_success
  redirect_to account_url
end

def sign_in_failure
 render :action => :new
end
