implementing custom register form

I was looking into the register_form.ex and found a key @strategy. What is it used for?

The strategy is the configuration for which authentication strategy is being used. You likely don't need it yourself You may need to use it when calling certain actions/changes

I am observing the register_form.ex and trying to change my registration live view like that. strategy resource was getting used in get_params/2 i changed this function to get_params/1 and provided the resource manually. is this approach okay?

I'm honestly not intimately familiar with that part of the code, but I'm sure its fine. Since the code is generic, you'll probably end up replacing a lot of parts that reference something like strategy.resource with your own resource So the only thing you need that it doesn't do right now is additional fields on register?

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

yes

ZachDaniel•3y ago

We can add that feature to ash_authentication_phoenix, if you can wait for it 🙂 and then you don't need to do all that work

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

@Zach Daniel I will appreciate that. It will be a good feature to have. I am afraid I can't wait tho. I have a deadline to meet. 😅 I am having one difference from the original registration form at the moment that if my password is not upto the mark then it empties the whole form and says fields are required.

Hard to say whats wrong with that without seeing the implementation.

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

fixed it 😄 I am getting the hang of it Thanks to you @Zach Daniel 🙌 I really appreciate that you are helping me out. just a single issue 😅 I am not getting the password confirmation field

ZachDaniel•3y ago

what do you mean by not getting?

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

like it is not getting rendered on the page.

ZachDaniel•3y ago

What does it look like? The code, I mean

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

my bad. I didn't include it in the form 😅 😂 @Zach Daniel How do we handle timestamps in ASH? like normally they get entered automatically.

ZachDaniel•3y ago

attributes do
  timestamps()
end

attributes do
  timestamps()
end

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

yeah i added that

ZachDaniel•3y ago

That will add the timestamps automatically on create/update, is that not what you mean?

You need to generate migrations

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

while registration yeah i already did that migrated it as well

ZachDaniel•3y ago

Do you have the accounts api in config :your_app, ash_apis: [...]?

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

oh, the db have the column inserted_at

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

yes

ZachDaniel•3y ago

How did you get it to look for :created_at?

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

that i don't know myself 😅

ZachDaniel•3y ago

Are you sure thats code coming from Ash? is there a stacktrace?

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

message.txt

ZachDaniel•3y ago

Can I see your tokens resource?

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

defmodule Dummy.Accounts.Token do
  use Ash.Resource,
    data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer,
    extensions: [AshAuthentication.TokenResource]

  token do
    api Dummy.Accounts
  end

  postgres do
    table "tokens"
    repo Dummy.Repo
  end
end

defmodule Dummy.Accounts.Token do
  use Ash.Resource,
    data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer,
    extensions: [AshAuthentication.TokenResource]

  token do
    api Dummy.Accounts
  end

  postgres do
    table "tokens"
    repo Dummy.Repo
  end
end

Something was wrong with the DB i guess. I dropped it. Recreated and migrated It works now

ZachDaniel•3y ago

👍 FWIW if you want timestamps on the tokens you'll need to add it

talha-azeemOP•3y ago

tokens table have them by default

ZachDaniel•3y ago

oh, okay 👍
