Yesod.Auth.Email

A Yesod plugin for Authentication via e-mail

This plugin works out of the box by only setting a few methods on the type class that tell the plugin how to interoprate with your user data storage (your database). However, almost everything is customizeable by setting more methods on the type class. In addition, you can send all the form submissions via JSON and completely control the user's flow. This is a standard registration e-mail flow

1) A user registers a new e-mail address, and an e-mail is sent there 2) The user clicks on the registration link in the e-mail Note that at this point they are actually logged in (without a password) That means that when they log out they will need to reset their password 3) The user sets their password and is redirected to the site. 4) The user can now * logout and sign in * reset their password

addUnverified :: Email -> VerKey -> HandlerT site IO (AuthEmailId site)

Add a new email address to the database, but indicate that the address has not yet been verified.

Since 1.1.0

sendVerifyEmail :: Email -> VerKey -> VerUrl -> HandlerT site IO ()

Send an email to the given address to verify ownership.

Since 1.1.0

getVerifyKey :: AuthEmailId site -> HandlerT site IO (Maybe VerKey)

Get the verification key for the given email ID.

Since 1.1.0

verifyAccount :: AuthEmailId site -> HandlerT site IO (Maybe (AuthId site))

Verify the email address on the given account.

Warning! If you have persisted the AuthEmailId site somewhere, this method should delete that key, or make it unusable in some fashion. Otherwise, the same key can be used multiple times!
