Simplistic login example for Sails

SessionController.js

/*---------------------
  :: Session 
	-> controller
---------------------*/
var SessionController = {

	login: function(req, res) {

		// Get password and username from request
		var username = req.param('username');
		var password = req.param('password');

		// No username/password entered
		if(!(username && password)) {
			res.send("No username or password specified!",500);
			// TODO: redirect, storing an error in the session
		}

		else {
			// Lookup the username/password combination
			User.find({
				username: username,
				password: password // TODO: hash the password first
			}).done(function (err, user) {

				// Login failed, incorrect username/password combination
				if (err || !user) {
					res.send("Invalid username and password combination!",500);
					// TODO: redirect, storing an error in the session
				}

				// Login succeeded
				if (user) {
					req.session.authenticated = true;
					req.session.User = user;

					// Redirect to protected area
					res.redirect('/dashboard');
				}
			});
		}
	}
};
module.exports = SessionController;

It would be great if you included the code that is along side this, like the policies, model, routes anything. Sure it's a great starting point but for a beginner it leaves for a lot of guessing.

Thanks for the example either way.

Hi @mikermcneil i agree with @frontpage can you include all file to support for this gits ?

and i think you have to create some sample apps using Sails so the beginner with nodeJs can learn fast sails.
