User management

Kashia answered:

There's a tool called "nitro-auth" which is installable using gem.

$ gem install nitro-auth

This will install nitro-auth 0.2.0.

require 'rubygems'
require 'nitro'
require 'og'
require 'nitro/auth'

# ... Og setup etc

include Nitro
include Auth

Server.map = {
  '/' => YourController,
  '/auth' => AuthController
}

Nitro.run

Sadly it's not useable "as-is". Since it's already a bit older, a few small corrections have to be made.

I didn't really use it yet, but it seems to integrate nicely even into newer Nitro versions (I think it was written around Nitro 0.21). Since I need a good auth system myself, I will probably look harder into it sometime, manveru is on that case as well.

I don't know if there's something finished. User handling is in most examples though (e.g. flare).

A basic model for user handling could be:

class User
  property :nick,      String, :unique => true
  property :password,  String
  property :role,      Fixnum
  property :email,     String, :unique => true
end

Of course you might want to encode the password and you could also have seperate model for roles.
