Dancer2...::Config(3)

📦 version 0.714.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to Dancer2...::Config(3), straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet ✨

The full name is Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::Config — example auth provider using app config. That's the whole NAME moment, and it ate 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is a simple authentication provider which authenticates based on a list of usernames, passwords (crypted, preferably — see below) and role specifications provided in the realm definition in your app's config file. No cap, it's literally doing auth from config.

This class is primarily intended as an example of what an authentication provider class should do; however, if you just want simple user authentication with user details stored in your app's config file, it may well suit your needs. It's giving "example but also lowkey useful" energy.

See Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible for details on how to use the authentication framework. iykyk 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

In your app's config.yml:

plugins:
    Auth::Extensible:
        realms:
            config:
                provider: Config
                users:
                    - user: dave
                      pass: supersecret
                      roles:
                        - Developer
                        - Manager
                        - BeerDrinker
                    - user: bob
                      pass: '{SSHA}+2u1HpOU7ak6iBR6JlpICpAUvSpA/zBM'
                      roles:
                        - Tester

As you can see, you can define the usernames, passwords (please use crypted passwords, RFC2307-style, not plain text (although plain text is supported, but really not a good idea), and the roles for each user (if you're not planning to use roles, omit the roles section from each user entirely). Yes, the nested parentheses are dramatic, but they're also accurate, bestie 😌
