NAME
   Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible::Provider::DBIC - authenticate via
   DBIx::Class

VERSION
   version 0.1.2

DESCRIPTION
   This class is an authentication provider designed to authenticate users
   against a database using Dancer::Plugin::DBIC within the
   Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible framework.

   See Dancer::Plugin::DBIC for how to configure a database connection
   appropriately; see the "CONFIGURATION" section below for how to
   configure this authentication provider with database details.

   See Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible for details on how to use the
   authentication framework, including how to pick a more useful
   authentication provider.

CONFIGURATION
   This provider tries to use sensible defaults, so you may not need to
   provide much configuration if your database tables look similar to those
   in the "SUGGESTED SCHEMA" section below.

   The most basic configuration, assuming defaults for all options, and
   defining a single authentication realm named 'users':

       plugins:
           Auth::Extensible:
               realms:
                   users:
                       provider: 'DBIC'

   You would still need to have provided suitable database connection
   details to Dancer::Plugin::Database, of course; see the docs for that
   plugin for full details, but it could be as simple as, e.g.:

       plugins:
           Auth::Extensible:
               realms:
                   users:
                       provider: 'DBIC'
           DBIC:
               default:
                   dsn:          'dbi:SQLite:mydb.sqlite'
                   schema_class: My::Schema

   A full example showing all options:

       plugins:
           Auth::Extensible:
               realms:
                   users:
                       provider: 'DBIC'
                       # optionally set DB connection name to use (see named
                       # connections in Dancer::Plugin::Database docs)
                       db_connection_name: 'foo'

                       # Optionally disable roles support, if you only want to check
                       # for successful logins but don't need to use role-based access:
                       disable_roles: 1

                       # optionally specify names of the table, relationship and
                       # columns (the values given below are the defaults)
                       users_resultset:     User
                       roles_relationship:  roles
                       role_column:         role
                       username_column:     username
                           # function in the user resultset
                           # taking the submitted password
                           # and returning true if it matches
                           # the user's
                       password_check:      check_password

   See the main Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Extensible documentation for how to
   configure multiple authentication realms.

SUGGESTED SCHEMA
   If you use a DBIx::Class schema similar to the examples provided here,
   you should need minimal configuration to get this authentication
   provider to work for you.

 users class
       package My::Schema::Result::User;

       use strict;
       use warnings;

       use base qw/ DBIx::Class::Core /;

       __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/EncodedColumn Core/);

       __PACKAGE__->table('Users');

       __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
           user_id => {
               data_type => 'INTEGER',
               is_auto_increment => 1,
               is_nullable => 0,
           },
           username => {
               data_type => 'VARCHAR',
               size => 32,
               is_nullable => 0,
           },
           password => {
               data_type => 'VARCHAR',
               size => 40,
               is_nullable => 0,
               encode_column => 1,
               encode_class  => 'Digest',
               encode_args   => {
                   algorithm => 'SHA-1',
                   format => 'hex',
               },
               encode_check_method => 'check_password',
           },
       );

       __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key( 'user_id' );
       __PACKAGE__->add_unique_constraint( 'username' => [ 'username' ] );

       __PACKAGE__->has_many(
           user_roles => 'My::Schema::Result::UserRole', 'user_id'
       );

       __PACKAGE__->many_to_many(
           roles => 'user_roles', 'role'
       );

       1;

   You will quite likely want other fields to store e.g. the user object
   will be returned by the "logged_in_user" keyword for your convenience.

 roles class
   You'll need a table to store a list of available roles in (unless you're
   not using roles - in which case, disable role support (see the
   "CONFIGURATION" section).

       package My::Schema::Result::Role;

       use strict;
       use warnings;

       use base qw/ DBIx::Class::Core /;

       __PACKAGE__->table('Roles');

       __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
           role_id => {
               data_type => 'INTEGER',
               is_auto_increment => 1,
               is_nullable => 0,
           },
           role => {
               data_type => 'VARCHAR',
               size => 32,
               is_nullable => 0,
           },
       );

       __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key( 'role_id' );
       __PACKAGE__->add_unique_constraint( 'role' => [ 'role' ] );

       __PACKAGE__->has_many(
           user_roles => 'My::Schema::Result::UserRole', 'role_id'
       );

       __PACKAGE__->many_to_many(
           users => 'user_roles', 'user'
       );

       1;

 user_roles class
   Finally, (unless you've disabled role support) you'll need a table to
   store user <-> role mappings (i.e. one row for every role a user has; so
   adding extra roles to a user consists of adding a new role to this
   table).

       package My::Schema::Result::UserRole;

       use strict;
       use warnings;

       use base qw/ DBIx::Class::Core /;

       __PACKAGE__->table('UserRoles');

       __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
           user_id => {
               data_type => 'INTEGER',
               is_foreign_key => 1,
               is_nullable => 0,
           },
           role_id => {
               data_type => 'INTEGER',
               is_foreign_key => 1,
               is_nullable => 0,
           },
       );

       __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key( 'user_id', 'role_id' );

       __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(
           user => 'My::Schema::Result::User', 'user_id'
       );
       __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(
           role => 'My::Schema::Result::Role', 'role_id'
       );

       1;
