User Authentication (Nette example)

Example of user management.

• User login, registration and logout (SignPresenter)
• Command line registration (bin/create-user.php)
• Authentication using database table (UserFacade)
• Password hashing
• Presenter requiring authentication (DashboardPresenter) using the RequireLoggedUser trait
• Rendering forms using Bootstrap CSS framework
• Automatic CSRF protection using a token when the user is logged in (FormFactory)
• Separation of form factories into independent classes (SignInFormFactory, SignUpFormFactory)
• Return to previous page after login (SignPresenter::$backlink)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/nette-examples/user-authentication
cd user-authentication
composer install

Make directories data/, temp/ and log/ writable.

By default, SQLite is used as the database which is located in the data/db.sqlite file. If you would like to switch to a different database, configure access in the config/local.neon file:

database:
	dsn: 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=***'
	user: ***
	password: ***

And then create the users table using SQL statements in the data/mysql.sql file.

The simplest way to get started is to start the built-in PHP server in the root directory of your project:

php -S localhost:8000 www/index.php

Then visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser to see the welcome page.

It requires PHP version 8.1 or newer.
