Send welcome and validation email after registration #37

Closed chaoran-chen closed 4 years ago

chaoran-chen commented 4 years ago

Everyone does it, so shall we... The given email address should be validated during the registration process. I propose the following flow:

  1. The user fills out the registration form and submits it. -> POST /account/register
  2. The system validates the input, create a deactivated account, and sends a welcome and validation email to the given email address containing a link to the following page: https://{host}/validate-email?key={key}.
  3. When the user navigates to the link, the website will send a request to the following API: POST /account/validate-email providing the key in the request body.
  4. The system activates the corresponding account.
