Ash Framework

Introducing AshAuthentication

There are two parts to AshAuthentication—the core ash_authentication package, and the ash_authentication_phoenix Phoenix extension—to provide things like sign-up and registration forms. We’ll start with the basic library to get a feel for how it works and then add the web layer afterward.

This chapter will be a little different than everything we’ve covered so far because we won’t have to write much code until the later stages. The AshAuthentication installer will generate most of the necessary code into our app for us, and while we won’t have to modify a lot of it, it’s important to understand it. (And it’s there if we do need to modify it.)

Install AshAuthentication with Igniter:

$ mix igniter.install ...
