Add accounts

Since v0.3.0

make:auth writes user accounts into your app: registration, login with “remember me”, sign-in with Google and GitHub, email verification, password reset, two-factor sign-in, a settings page and API tokens, with their pages, emails, routes and tests.

go tool anetos make:auth
go run . migrate

Open http://localhost:8080/register. The header now has links to log in and register, and, once you’re signed in, your name, the settings and a logout button (AccountMenu, in views/auth.templ). In development, emails go to the anetos dev log: open the verification link from there.

Where users land

After logging in, users go to the page they asked for before logging in, or else to /dashboard; after registering, to /dashboard. To send them elsewhere, set AUTH_HOME_URL in .env and in production:

AUTH_HOME_URL=/posts

or change the default in auth.go, which make:auth wrote:

// illustrative
a, err := auth.ForApp(app, models.Users, auth.DefaultHomeURL("/posts"))

The setting wins over the default, so each deployment can choose.

Pages for signed-in users only

routes/auth.go has a members group: guests who open its pages go to the login page and come back after logging in. Put your own routes there, such as make:crud’s (Posts(members)), and read the user in a handler with auth.User[*models.User](c).

Add accounts with make:auth describes every page, setting and file, and how to change them.

Next: Test and build.
