CodeIgniter Authit

A lightweight and flexible CodeIgniter 3 authentication library. It comes packaged with an example Auth class and related views so that you can get your CI project up and running in minutes. Test/View, sent emails with an email preview that allows you to view the last sent email by going to ...auth/sentemails. See config/authit to turn on for development, off for production, and on each authentication action you want it on, already enabled on password reset functionality by default.

Requirements

  • CodeIgniter 3.0
  • PHP 5.5
  • MySQL

Installation

  1. Download and unpack the contents of the application folder to your CodeIgniter project.
  2. That's it! Visit /auth to signup and login.
  3. If you want you can edit application/config/authit.php to change some settings, but the defaults are fine.

Usage

See example Auth controller which provides a functioning example of login, sign up, logout and forget/reset password. The Authit library provides several API methods:

logged_in() - Returns true if the current user logged in, false otherwise.

login($email, $password) - Attempts to login a user with a given $email and $password. Returns true if successful and false otherwise.

logout([$redirect = false]) - Logs out the current user (by destroying the session). Accepts an optional $redirect parameter to redirect to a given URI after logout.

signup($email, $password) - Attempts to create a user with a given $email and $password. Returns true if successful and false otherwise.

reset_password($user_id, $new_password) - Resets the password of the user with the given $user_id.

The Authit helper includes the following helper functions:

logged_in() - Returns true if the current user logged in, false otherwise (shortcut to the Authit library logged_in() function).

user([$key = '']) - Returns the session data for the currently logged in user. If you specifiy a $key you can get specific info, for exmaple user('id') returns the currently logged in user ID.
