What's the best way to have both token and session auth? #45

Closed sotojuan closed 6 years ago

This is more of a Phoenix question, but I want both kinds of auth in my app (token for API access, session for the website). Is the correct way to have two SessionController modules?

One option is to use an umbrella app.

I think there are ways of doing it without setting up an umbrella app, but I haven't tried them :) Using Phauxth.Authenticate with api and sessions is quite easy because you can set up different pipelines in the router.ex file and use Phauxth.Authenticate with the browser pipeline and Phauxth.Authenticate, method: :token with the api pipeline.

If you ask this question on elixirforum.com, I'm sure you will get some informative answers.

Thanks. I was able to get some good answers. I'll just have two session controllers.
