Starting in on a new Authentication package |
I've been working on Community Auth for years, and I love CodeIgniter so I use it all the time. Other people's comments and issues have really helped refine it, and I will of course use it for as long as necessary. A couple days ago I started in on a new authentication package, and it's really geared towards use on any framework, and possibly use without a framework. It could certainly be useful for CI4 users.
As it's really pretty early in the development process, I got to the point where I've more or less roughed out the basics, and thought it would be good to get some other people's eyes on it.

I cannot really add anything to this that would be of any value, but I just wanted to say that your code is beautifully written. A real pleasure to read through. So plain and so clear and so well laid out.
I know it has been said many times before, and argued with, but I really do think a CI auth model (that was optional to implement) would be a real benefit to new/junior developers. I swing about on this in truth, a few months ago I thought it was not needed for a framework like CI, but right now I do think it would be a benefit. Anyhow, good luck with your new project. I hope it goes well. Paul.
Paul, thanks for the complement.
The thing about Auth is that you really can't please a significant percentage of devs no matter what you do. I'm a little biased, but I really don't like the other Auth libraries/packages that are available for CI. Many people probably don't like mine, ya know? A super well thought out package that offers support for as many database types that CI supports, along with enough features to make it good, and one that is easy to use for the average CI user (who is pretty low skill level) is a major project. Besides that, Auth relies on Sessions, and you've seen how many people ask about that already. Speaking of sessions, I've been playing around with Symfony's PDO Session Handler tonight. Got it working with my new Auth and it was tight (like a tiger) Ah, the things you do when you get old. Other people are out partying on a Saturday night, and I'm clackin' on the keyboard... |
