Questions about rodauth and sequel

[kirqe]

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding rodauth and sequel:

1. 

How do you get the current_user when using jwt in rodauth? 

Is there a current_user helper or something similar?

should I just do the following:

Account.find(id: rodauth.account_from_session[:id])

2. 

When saving a new record in sequel and there’re validators in model, it raises an error instead of returning a validation message.

eg:

Sequel::Model.plugin :validation_helpers

def validate

    super

    validates_min_length 5, :body

end

—

it’s not possible to do:

if post.save

    {success: “”}.to_json

else

    {error: post.errors...}.to_json

end

but something like this will work

post.safe

    {success: “”}.to_json

rescue

    {error: post.errors…}.to_json

How should such things be done?

3.

After setting custom routes for rodauth I had complains that login didn’t match and then there’s no password confirmation messages.

(Not sure why it asked for login confirmation). I added the last 2 lines from the code below and it solved the problem. 

Interesting, it returned validation messages to the console(without raising an error)

  Is this the expected behaviour?

prefix “auth”

login_route “signin”

require_login_confirmation? false 

require_password_confirmation? false

4.  Is it possible to replace {login: “”, password: “”} to {email: “”, password: “”} when making a post request to signin/signup route?

Thank you!

Rodauth doesn't have a current_user concept, in the sense that it returns a model object (since Rodauth doesn't use models).  You can call session_value to get the id of the account for the currently logged in user.  So if you were using Account.find to look an account up based on that id:

  Account.find(id: rodauth.session_value)

You can set post.raise_on_save_failure = false before saving if you want a failed save to return nil/false instead of raising an exception (you can also use the raise_on_save_failure class method to set a default for the class, or the :raise_on_failure option when calling save).  Sequel defaults to raising an exception for save failures so you don't have a silent failure that you miss.

require_login_confirmation? false

Rodauth defaults to requiring login and password confirmation, so if you don't want to require confirmation, you should turn it off, as you did.  Rodauth route handling doesn't raise exceptions for invalid requests, they return an HTTP response with an appropriate error code.  This is expected behavior.

 

4.  Is it possible to replace {login: “”, password: “”} to {email: “”, password: “”} when making a post request to signin/signup route?

You would use the login_param configuration method for that:

  login_param 'email'
