Dancer...::Base(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::Base — the base class for authentication providers 💅

It's a 3pm page, i.e. a Perl module manpage living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, so bestie you are exactly where you're supposed to be 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this is the base class for authentication providers — the mom of the family, the blueprint, the main character that all the actual providers build on top of 👑

It's giving three things, and they're all lowkey essential:

• A constructor 🎀 — it handles receiving the realm settings for you and hands back an instance of the provider. You don't gotta do that part yourself, it's done, periodt.
• Secure password matching 🔐 — and the way this one automatically handles crypted passwords via Crypt::SaltedHash?? obsessed. You get the secure comparison without writing the scary parts yourself 💖
• The methods providers must override 🧚 — this base class provides them, but they're yours to override with your own implementation. And if you don't override them?

💀 they die. No cap. Not a warning, not a gentle nudge, not a "hey bestie maybe"— they die. So if something's blowing up on you, check whether you actually implemented the methods you were supposed to 🙈

and that's the whole vibe, babe 🦋 This page came from perl v5.36.0, dated 2023-01-05, and yes she ate 💅✨ go forth and override responsibly, bestie 🫶💖
