Register / Login

The default way to deal with user authentication is via register and login methods.

Register

Any user registration acts like a default collection. You may register users with as many fields and values you need.

Required fields: email and password. If they're not provided, the server will throw a "bad request" error.

var hook = new Hook.Client({/* browser credentials */});
hook.auth.register({
  email: "user@domain.com",
  password: "userpass",
  birthdate: "1990-05-26"
}).then(function(data) {
  console.log("Register success: ", data);
}).otherwise(function(error){
  console.log("Error", error);
});

If the registration fails the otherwise callback will be called. It happens when the email is invalid or already exists, or the password is empty.

Login

Required fields: email and password.

var hook = new Hook.Client({/* browser credentials */});
hook.auth.login({ email: "user@domain.com", password: "userpass" }).then(function(data) {
  console.log("Login success: ", data.first_name);
}).otherwise(function(error){
  console.log("Can't login: ", error);
});

Custom login handler

It is possible to validate user data when checking if it is allowed to login on your application. This is possible through login method on auths observer.

Generate auths observer

$ hook generate:observer auth

Implement login validation

The login method must return TRUE in order to allow to user to login successfully.

// hook-ext/observers/auths.php
class Auths {
    public function login($model) {
        return ($model->approved == true);
    }
}

Note that this implementation is optional. If you don't need any extra-check for logging-in users, just don't define the login method on auths observer.

Oauth

For Oauth integration with 3rd party services, such as Twitter, Facebook, G+, etc. You'll need to require the OAuth plugin in your webapp.

var hook = new Hook.Client({/* browser credentials */});
hook.oauth.popup('facebook').then(function(data) {
  console.log("Logged in:", data.first_name);
}).otherwise(function(error){
  console.log("Error", error);
});
