Authgasm Description

Rails authentication done right The last thing we need is another authentication solution for rails, right? It was disappointing to find that all of the solutions were overly complicated, bloated, made too many assumptions about an app, written poorly, or were just plain confusing. Developers want something simple. Something that feels like it is a part of rails. Something that they could understand and not feel like authentication is this daunting / annoying task that litters my application with redundant code. And this is how Authgasm has been developed from scratch.Interested in how this all works. Basically a before_filter is set in your controller which lets Authgasm know about the current controller object. This allows Authgasm to set cookies, sessions, login via basic http auth, and others. Don‘t worry though, this is thread safe.From there it is pretty simple. When you try to create a new session the record is authenticated and then all of the session / cookie magic is done for you.
