CatalystX::SimpleLogin - Provide a simple Login controller which can be reused

package MyApp;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
use Catalyst qw/
+CatalystX::SimpleLogin
Authentication
Session
Session::State::Cookie
Session::Store::File
/;
extends 'Catalyst';
__PACKAGE__->config(
'Plugin::Authentication' => { # Auth config here }
);
__PACKAGE__->config(
'Controller::Login' => { # SimpleLogin config here }
);
__PACKAGE__->setup;

If you're new here, you should start by reading CatalystX::SimpleLogin::Manual, which provides a gentler introduction to using this code. Come back here when you're done there.

CatalystX::SimpleLogin is an application class Moose::Role which will inject a Catalyst::Controller which is an instance of CatalystX::SimpleLogin::Controller::Login into your application. This provides a simple login and logout page with the adition of only one line of code and one template to your application.


CatalystX::SimpleLogin is a prototype for CatalystX::Elements. As such, one of the goals is to make it easy for users to customise the provided component to the maximum degree possible, and also, to have a linear relationship between effort invested and level of customisation achieved.
Three traits are shipped with SimpleLogin: WithRedirect, Logout, and RenderAsTTTemplate. These traits are set in the config:
__PACKAGE__->config(
'Controller::Login' => {
traits => [qw/ Logout WithRedirect RenderAsTTTemplate /],
login_form_args => { # see the login form },
);

logout action and associated methods. You can compose this manually yourself if you want just that action.
This trait is set by default, but if you set another trait in your config, you will have to include it.
login action with a wrapper to redirect to a page which needs authentication, from which the user was previously redirected. Goes hand in hand with Catalyst::ActionRole::NeedsLogin
Here's a list of what I think needs working on, in no particular order.
Please feel free to add to or re-arrange this list :)

Forks and patches are welcome. #formhandler or #catalyst (irc.perl.org) are both good places to ask about using or developing this code.
