Authenticating Users
Learn to authenticate the newly added users and make a login panel.
What does it mean to add login support for administrators of our store?
-
We need to provide a form that allows them to enter a username and password.
-
Once they’re logged in, we need to record that fact for the rest of the session or until they log out.
-
We need to restrict access to the administrative parts of the application, allowing only people who are logged in to administer the store.
We could put all of the logic into a single controller, but it makes more sense to split it into two: a session controller to support logging in and out and a controller to welcome administrators:
depot> bin/rails generate controller Sessions new create destroy
depot> bin/rails generate controller Admin index
A live terminal
You can run the above commands to generate the controller in the terminal provided below.
