#Authentication, Logging in and Authorization in our app so far

###Authentication

Authentication in our app is fairly straightforward, at this point. In our gemfile, we require the gem 'bcrypt', and in our User model, we include the method has secure password. This tells the gem to look at the users table for the password_digest column that we need for the 'salted' or encoded version of our password.

We ask a user to input a password when they create their account. They also must input a confirmation for their password. Bcrypt looks at the password and password confirmation params, and if they match, it encodes the password into an enormous string of symbols and letters, (this is based off an algorithm, and it is equal to the password originally input). The original password isn't stored anywhere. When a user logs in, Bcrypt checks the database to make sure the encoded version of what the user enters upon login matches what's on the able. If that's the case, they are authenticated and logged in.

First, I am going to take a look at the constructor function that we will use to build StudentView objects. Here is the function

function StudentView(model){
  this.$el = $('<p>');
  this.model = model;
}

We define two attributes on the object from the constructor function. First, we define the element ($el) attribute, and assign it to a jQuery object that will create a new paragraph element for us.

#main.js

Hoo-boy, there aren't enough gifs for this one.

var todoApp       = {};
todoApp.taskNum   = 0;
todoApp.taskViews = {};

#task.js

Here we are building the model objects for tasks, which can talk to the TaskView objects, but not directly to the DOM. They talk to the database for us.

function Task(data) {
  console.log('model created with data:', data);
  this.id          = data.id;
  this.completed   = data.completed;
 this.description = data.description;

#task_view.js

function TaskView(model){
  console.log('view created with model:', model);
  this.$el   = $("<li>");
  this.model = model;
  }

This is our constructor function for TaskView objects. We can pass it a model as a parameter. The console will log the details of that model for us.
