Requiring authentication to access Rails DB

[guisehn]

Currently is there any way to require authentication or some kind of permission checking before allowing users to access the Rails DB pages?

[igorkasyanchuk]

Yes,I can implement it, if you can check my other gem any_login itit's easy to make same here. Do you want to make it?

@igorkasyanchuk I will take a look on it and see if I can make it. Thanks!

[igorkasyanchuk]

@guisehn you can do it :) Please take a look here https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/any_login/tree/master/lib/generators/any_login (you need to create generator)

You need to do something like this https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/any_login/blob/master/lib/any_login.rb#L12 and this https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/any_login/blob/master/lib/any_login.rb#L59 (and below few lines)

Also you need do add this method https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/any_login/blob/master/lib/any_login.rb#L71

And finally update documentation as here https://www.dropbox.com/s/jj4fijululbkpew/Screenshot%202015-10-16%2022.55.51.png?dl=0

:) if you have any questions please ask

@igorkasyanchuk I added the possibility to implement the authorization code in a initializer file. I created the pull request https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/rails_db/pull/2

Please give feedback, this is my first contribution to an existing open source project. :)

Look good, but only few things I'd like you to change. Since I plan (and maybe you also will have an ideas) to create more functionality around this gem, and I think we need to have generator for initializer similar to this what I've in any_login gem.

I want to make it super easy and clear to all people how to use it, because Proc's are not something what beginners understand and can use. So here something more simpler like "username", "password", "http_basic_auth_enabled" would be enough.

It'll be a start for future options which use can set in initializer. So if you don't mind please make it more flexible and easy to use :)

[igorkasyanchuk]

One more :) I know it from own experience, it's much easier to run a command to generate initializer then create file by your own. So it's really will simplify life. And please wrap it with "setup" block as it's good practice

@igorkasyanchuk thanks for the feedback. I will try to implement those things when I get some free time.
