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} ->
      Accounts.confirm_user(user)
      message = "Your account has been confirmed"
      Message.confirm_success(user.email)
      handle_success(conn, message, session_path(conn, :new))
    {:error, message} ->
      handle_error(conn, message, session_path(conn, :new))
  end
end

In this example, the Accounts.confirm_user function updates the database, setting the confirmed_at value to the current time.
