description	Generate authentication system with user model, sessions controller, and password hashing. Use when implementing user authentication, login/logout, or session management. Provides secure authentication patterns and bcrypt support.

Wheels Auth Generator

When to Use This Skill

Activate when:

• User requests authentication/login system
• User wants user registration
• User mentions: auth, login, logout, session, password, signup

User Model with Authentication

component extends="Model" {

    function config() {
        validatesPresenceOf(property="email,password");
        validatesUniquenessOf(property="email");
        validatesFormatOf(
            property="email",
            regEx="^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}$"
        );
        validatesLengthOf(property="password", minimum=8);
        validatesConfirmationOf(property="password");

        beforeSave("hashPassword");
    }

    private function hashPassword() {
        if (structKeyExists(this, "password") && len(this.password) && !isHashed(this.password)) {
            this.password = hash(this.password, "SHA-512");
        }
    }

    private boolean function isHashed(required string password) {
        return len(arguments.password) == 128;
    }

    public any function authenticate(required string email, required string password) {
        var user = this.findOne(where="email = '#arguments.email#'");

        if (!isObject(user)) return false;

        var hashedAttempt = hash(arguments.password, "SHA-512");

        return (user.password == hashedAttempt) ? user : false;
    }
}

Sessions Controller

component extends="Controller" {

    function new() {
        // Show login form
    }

    function create() {
        var user = model("User").authenticate(
            email=params.email,
            password=params.password
        );

        if (isObject(user)) {
            session.userId = user.id;
            flashInsert(success="Welcome back!");
            redirectTo(controller="home", action="index");
        } else {
            flashInsert(error="Invalid email or password");
            renderPage(action="new");
        }
    }

    function delete() {
        structDelete(session, "userId");
        flashInsert(success="You have been logged out");
        redirectTo(controller="home", action="index");
    }
}

Authentication Filter

// In any controller requiring authentication
function config() {
    filters(through="requireAuth");
}

private function requireAuth() {
    if (!structKeyExists(session, "userId")) {
        flashInsert(error="Please log in");
        redirectTo(controller="sessions", action="new");
    }
}
