In search of stable auth library for CI4
#1
Exclamation 

Hey everybody,

This is my first post here. 
I've worked on CodeIgniter 1, 2 and 3 projects over the years and am excited with what CI4 has to offer.

Our dev team and I are building a major application (18+ months long) and I am trying to make the best selection of authentication library. 
I would very much appreciate any suggestions or input on how you guys have solved authentication in CI4 projects.

My priorities are (in this order):

1. Stable code base
2. Role-based authorization
3. Full feature set (login, register, recover password, confirm email, etc)
4. Strong on-going support
5. Openness to community contribution, in case I need to make additions

We are also interested in implementing oauth features.

We are looking for other options beyond myth/auth because they are still in a beta phase for CI4.

There aren't any else specifically tailored to CI4, you need to find a generic one with e.g. Composer support.

What do y'all think, are there any good alternatives to Myth Auth?

Or, is Myth Auth close to ready for CI4 prime-time?

(Using CodeIgniter since 1.x)

Tailored for CI4, no.

As with all software, it will be done when it's done. ;-)
You can kickstart the development if you want by solving the current issues or just using it, and finding bugs.

You need to understand that CI4 was just officially released less than 2 months ago. There’s not a lot of module for CI4 yet. I think Myth Auth is still your best choice.

One of the good things about CI v4 is that it is pretty easy to employ just about any contemporary code into the framework. IOW, you aren't limited to packages designed specifically for CI v4. If it works with current best practices for PHP then it won't be too terrible hard to use in CodeIgniter.
