OmniAuth

  • Advanced Usages of Devise for Rails
    6 projects | dev.to | 9 Aug 2023
    In many cases, this convenient multi-provider authentication is powered by a library called OmniAuth. OmniAuth is a flexible and powerful authentication library for Ruby that allows you to integrate with multiple external providers.
  • Unleash Devise-Enabling All Modules
    4 projects | dev.to | 25 Jun 2023
    :omniauthable is a special module in devise but it's also in charge of a very common feature: letting users log in by using a user's session from another website, e.g. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Github, etc. It's kind of delegating authentication work to those big tech companies. Nowadays, most companies follow OAuth's standards to build the authentication workflow (OAuth always means OAuth 2.0 in this article). However, each company may have different dialects when you communicate via OAuth. This module is called :omniauthable because devise has integrated with the gem omniauth, which provides a unified interface to realize the login process via OAuth.

  • A First Look at Hanami 2 for Ruby
    6 projects | dev.to | 15 Dec 2022
    In general, even though the Hanami ecosystem lacks any "plug-and-play" solutions such as Devise, you can use many existing libraries not tightly coupled to Ruby on Rails. For authentication, you can use Warden, OmniAuth or Rodauth. For uploads there is Shrine. The pagination is built into ROM. Integration with exception catchers such as Rollbar is easy.
  • Social Login in Rails with Rodauth
    4 projects | /r/ruby | 6 Dec 2022
    In this article, I show how to set up the rodauth-omniauth gem I had created in a Rails app, and customize the flow. This gem provides a much more integrated solution compared to Devise, in the sense that it implements the OmniAuth callback phase, automatically registering the user and/or logging them in, and persisting their external identities. It supports multiple providers, and essentially codifies this OmniAuth guide.

    OmniAuth provides a standardized interface for authenticating with various external providers. Once the user authenticates with the provider, it's up to us developers to handle the callback and implement actual login and registration into the app. There is a wiki page laying out various scenarios that need to be handled if you want to support multiple providers, showing that it's by no means a trivial task.
  • rodauth-omniauth released: login & registration with multiple external providers
    4 projects | /r/ruby | 3 Nov 2022
    In addition to providing an OmniAuth integration like Devise, this gem persists external identities associated to accounts, and attempts to solve some of the hard problems around supporting with multiple providers described in this OmniAuth guide. The goal was for it to be a drop-in solution for login & registration via social logins, where the callback phase is implemented for you, with hooks for extending the behavior.

    My memory is failing me on the specifics, but I posted this issue on roda, which then led to this other issue in omniauth, plus 2 MRs on omniauth and rack-protection for doc updates.

  • Setting Up OmniAuth Authentication in Development

    But what if we've already gone through this process on another site? Wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow communicate with that site's authentication system and use it to authenticate the users on our site? This is precisely what OmniAuth allows us to do, specifically through the use of community-built strategies, or code that allows one to authenticate to a given provider, e.g. Facebook or GitHub. You know those "Login with Facebook" buttons? Yep, that's what we're talking about here.
