Tyrant

"Freedom choked in dread we live, since tyrant was enthroned."

Tyrant implements all common steps of authorization workflows using overridable operations. It allows a quick setup of sign in, sign up, forgot password, etc. Tyrant works well in Rails, but plays well with any Ruby environment.

Operations are provided for the following steps.

• SignIn
  • Confirmed
  • Hammer protection (3x wrong blabla)
  • Sticky (Remember me)
• SignUp
• SignOut
• ResetPassword
• Forgot pw
• Mutiple sessions with scopes

Operations

trb instead of pushing into controller

Tyrant exposes its public API using operations.

Operations are the pivotal element in the Trailblazer architecture. When it comes to customization, Tyrant doesn't rely on a "hopefully complete" configuration language as Devise does it.

Tyrant allows you to customize with Ruby. You can override entire workflow steps (operations), forms and validations (contracts) or methods using simple object-orientation and a clean API.

This means you can easily use them in Rails controllers.

class SessionController < ApplicationController
  def sign_in
    run Tyrant::SignIn
  end

You can also run the public API in any other Ruby environment, e.g. a console or a Roda action.

Tyrant::SignIn.run(params)

Tyrant provides forms for all workflow steps. using Reform objects that are embedded into the operations.

=> Customize with inheritance, or override. Or just don't use the operation and write your own "step".

Reset Password

Run Tyrant::ResetPassword.(model: your_user_model) after checked that the user exists in your database in order to send a random 8 character password to the email saved in your_user_model. Override generate_password to have a different random password generation:

Tyrant::ResetPassword.class_eval do 
  def generate_password
    # your code
  end
end

The really basic email notification is sent using Pony gem. Override email_options to set your options and test your code:

Tyrant::Mailer.class_eval do 
  def email_options
    Pony.options = {via: :test}
  end  
end

Override class Tyrant::Mailer to have a better looking (and not only) email notification but remember that we love TRB so it must be a TRB::Operation: Tyrant::Mailer.(email: model.email, new_password: new_password).

This may be used as Forgot Password as well.
