User or Credential? Rewrite the Authentication part of the Phoenix Guides #56

Closed joepstender closed 4 years ago

joepstender commented 4 years ago

The Phoenix Guides use a slightly different but, when put against what phx_gen_auth produces, utterly confusing naming regarding authentication. In the Phoenix Guides "Credential" is used instead of "User", and they use it as an example how to created a one_to_one relationship: mix phx.gen.context Accounts Credential credentials email:string:unique user_id:references:users

One or the other will have to yield If you want to merge to Phoenix. Either way the Authentication part of the Phoenix Guides should be rewritten.

Yes. It is not related to this project per se but it is in our plans to rewrite the context guides to use another example. Thanks!

Great! Sorry for posting this again here, I now see it was already mentioned in #44 I also would prefer to have User - Email (or Phone number...), and then add for example "Profile" refer to the User with all other stuff you'd want to add.
