Middleware

Components that provide additional checks on requests

Auth

The Auth middleware can be found at sirJuni\Framework\Middleware\Auth and it abstracts login, logout implementation. We can use its methods to login a user and also logout a user. We can also use this middleware to put routes behind Authentication.

A simple controller that logs in a user using Auth would be

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . "\\..\\vendor\\autoload.php";
use sirJuni\Framework\Middleware\Auth;

class AuthController {
        // login
        public function login($request) {
            if ($request->formData('login')) {
                $email = $request->formData('username');
                $pass = $request->formData('password');
    
                $db = new DB();
    
                $user = $db->getUser($email);
                if ($user['password'] == $pass) {
                    Auth::login($user);  // login the user by creating session and storing data there
                    VIEW::init('profile.html', $user);
                }
                else {
                    HelperFuncs::redirect("/mypro/auth?message=wrong");
                }
            }
            else {
                HelperFuncs::redirect("/mypro");
            }
        }
        
        // logout
        public function logout($request) {
            Auth::logout();
            HelperFuncs::redirect("/mypro/auth");
        }
}
?>

• Auth::login($user); - takes in an associative array containing user details and internally creates a session and stores these details there.

• Auth::logout() - It destroys the session and unset everything login() sets.

Other methods supported are

1. Auth::set_fallback_route('/login') - This method is used to set the route which points to login page. It is used when we use Auth as middleware to protect a route. When we visit that route unauthenticated, it redirects the user to the url that is set using this method (here : /login)

2. Auth::check() - It returns true if user is logged in and false otherwise.

In the above code HelperFuncs::redirect is a function that causes redirect to the given path. It is contained in the sirJuni\Framework\Helper\HelperFuncs class.
