Module to provide user confirmation.

This Plug can be used to provide user confirmation by email, phone, or any other method.

Options

There are two options:

• identifier - how the user is identified in the confirmation request

  • this should be an atom, and the default is :email

• key_validity - the length, in minutes, that the token is valid for

  • the default is 60 minutes (1 hour)

Examples

Add the following line to the web/router.ex file:

get "/new", ConfirmController, :new

Then add the following to the confirm_controller.ex new function:

def new(conn, params) do
  case Phauxth.Confirm.verify(params) do
    {:ok, user} -> handle_successful_confirmation
    {:error, message} -> handle_error
  end
end

In handle_successful_confirmation, you still need to update the database, setting the confirmed_at value, and send an email to the user, stating that confirmation was successful.
