Check if a user is authenticated

[GildedHonour]

After a user signed in:

def create(conn, params = %{}) do
    conn
    |> put_flash(:info, "Logged in.")
    |> Guardian.Plug.sign_in(verified_user) # verify your logged in resource
    |> redirect(to: user_path(conn, :index))
  end

how do I check on if they are authenticated in other places? Say, a page "users/secret_page" is avaialble only for authenticated users. When a user comes to that page, how do I check if they're authenticated?

Hi @GildedHonour, have you looked at Guardian.Plug.EnsureAuthenticated?

https://github.com/ueberauth/guardian#guardianplugensureauthenticated

[GildedHonour]

Thanks. It doesn't support password recovering, email confirmations, locking users and so on?

@GildedHonour that functionality isn't provided by Guardian. If you're familiar with the Ruby ecosystem Guardian is akin to Warden upon which Devise (and others) are built.

@doomspork what do you recommend to use as alternive of devise gem from Rails?

[doomspork]

@GildedHonour as far I as know no one has built something like Devise for Elixir. For my use-cases I roll my own functionality.

Thanks.
