#Minnie

After working with Devise and Clearance, I started to play with OmniAuth. At the time, OmniAuth didn't have much support amongst the auth gems so I wrote my authentication code for it.

Heavily inspired by Ryan Bates' Railscast on Authentication from Scratch, I wrote just enough code to have the authentication working. I pulled a few other ideas out of Devise and Clearance and had a decent looking gist after a while.

Then I had to adapt the code for email/password logins. And then LDAP authentication came up. Eventually, I had refactored it down to the basics that could be reused multiple times.

But copying and pasting a gist into multiple apps gets tiresome quickly. So Minnie was born. I've added email/password authentication as the default strategy for Minnie. But feel free to also check out the OmniAuth and LDAP strategies.

###Install

Add minnie to your Gemfile

 gem 'minnie'

Run minnie's generator to get up and running

 bundle exec rails generate minnie:install

Minnie ships with an email/password authentication strategy that uses Rails' has_secure_password. If that's the way you to like to swing, just run the following:

 bundle exec rails generate minnie:install:user

Of course, you're free to implement your own authentication method in User. Take a look at the default strategy or minnie's LDAP strategy for examples.

You're all done! Log into the console and create a test user

 User.create :email => 'test@test.com', :password => 'test'

And then try to sign in to your app at /signin.

###Issues

There isn't much code here so try resolving issues on your own. If you get some issues fixed, send me a pull request!

If you're not making any headway, just create an issue and I'll try to look at it.
