Palmik / yesod-init

UNMAINATINED. Alternative to the standard "yesod init".

General

This package present an alternative for the standard yesod init. It was modified to my taste and needs and as such might not be suitable for your taste or needs.

The application contains simple login system utilizing yesod-auth. I tried to avoid what other Yesod based sites that I found (e.g. haskellers.com) did with yesod-auth, that is they wrapped almost all User (or similar type) fields in Maybe so that they could circumvent the limitations of the yesod-auth implementation of third party authetication services that make implementing registration feel unnatural. I did it by having separate Identity and Profile tables. Ideal solution would have these two tables merged (even though having them separate might be advatageous in some cases). Let me know if you know how to achieve that with yesod-auth without resorting to Maybe hacks.
