Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Flickr - Flickr authentication for Catalyst
In MyApp.pm
use Catalyst qw/ Authentication Session Session::Store::FastMmap Session::State::Cookie /; MyApp->config( "Plugin::Authentication" => { default_realm => "flickr", realms => { flickr => { credential => { class => "Flickr", }, key => 'flickr-key-here', secret => 'flickr-secret-here', perms => 'read', }, }, }, );
And then in your Controller:
sub login : Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; my $realm = $c->get_auth_realm('flickr'); $c->res->redirect( $realm->credential->authenticate_flickr_url($c) ); }
And finally the callback you specified in your API key request (e.g. example.com/flickr/ ):
sub flickr : Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; $c->authenticate(); $c->res->redirect("/super/secret/member/area"); }
This module handles Flickr API authentication in a Catalyst application.
When Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication 0.10 was released, the API had changed, resulting in broken code when using Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::Flickr.
This module tries to follow the guidelines of the new API and deprecate Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::Flickr.
Code changes are needed, but are fairly minimal.
As per guidelines of Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication, there are two mandatory methods, new and authenticate. Since this is not really enough for the Flickr API, I've added one more (and an alias).
new
authenticate
Will not be called by you directly, but will use the configuration you provide (see above). Mandatory parameters are key, secret and perms. Please see Flickr::API for more details on them.
key
secret
perms
This method will return the authentication URL. Bounce your users there before calling the authentication method.
authentication
Handles the authentication. Nothing more, nothing less. It returns a Catalyst::Authentication::User::Hash with the following keys (all coming straight from Flickr).
