authentication and forwarding to the correct place

[mjb152]

I'm using the authentication plugin, and I'm wondering what's the best method to remember the route I came from if I have to go to a login screen first. E.g if I'm not authenticated and come from either /route1 or /route2 , once I have entered my login details how can I get back to the correct place ?

I would store it in a client-side session:

get '/authentication_required' => sub ($c) {

  $c->session(page => $c->current_route);

  $c->redirect_to('login') unless $c->auth;

  $c->render(text => 'Success!');

};

get '/login' => sub ($c) {

  $c->redirect_to($c->session('page')) if $c->auth;

}

I significantly abstracted away the authentication details.
