blindgaenger / sinatra-auth

use the basic HTTP authentication of rack in your sinatra application

Sinatra-Auth

I know, I know! There are already some implementations out there. Please don’t
ask me why … I just did it!

Your choice

Just let me put my stuff to all the other projects, ok? Now it’s up to you. :)

• Sinatra Basic Authentication – Selectively Applied
  
  You’ll find similar DIY implementations in many sinatra projects (e.g. sinatra-wiki, …)

• sbfaulkner / sinatra_authentication
  
  Like DIY, but uses Rack::Auth in a nice helper. Easy to use for models classes.

• blindgaenger / sinatra-auth « Yep, this project!
  
  Adds Rack::Auth as middleware and checks protected routes before dispatching to sinatra.

• maxjustus / sinatra-authentication
  
  If you need session based authentication using DataMapper, this is for you!

• Sinatra Lighthouse [PATCH] HTTP Authentication
  
  But actually I really hope any HTTP authentication will become an integrated part of sinatra!

Done?

Installation

sudo gem source —add http://gems.github.com sudo gem install blindgaenger-sinatra-auth

Usage

Use auth to configure :basic authorization and the realm My App. The block
checks your creditals.

configure do auth :basic, “My App” do |username, password| username == ‘foo’ && password = ‘bar’ end end

Define your routes as usual, but now you can protect some of them.

  get '/public' do
    'free'
  end

  protect do
    get '/private' do
      'secret'
    end
  end

Done!
