Authentication

By default, Spina CMS includes basic user management using it's own Spina::User model. If you're adding Spina to an existing app, you might already have some form of authentication that you want to use for Spina.

You can do that by creating a module with two methods: authenticate and logged_in?. Here's an example of a project using it's own session[:user_id]:

module MyApp
  module CustomAuth
    extend ActiveSupport::Concern
    
    included do
      helper_method :logged_in?
      helper_method :current_user
    end
    
    def logged_in?
      current_user
    end
    
    def current_user
      @current_user ||= MyApp::User.find_by(id: session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
    end
    
    private
    
      def authenticate
        redirect_to "/login" unless logged_in?
      end
      
  end
end

After creating the module, you need to configure it in config/initializers/spina.rb:

Spina.configure do |config|
  # ...
  config.authentication = "MyApp::CustomAuth"
end
