Mobile Front-end user management for October CMS.

** Update: This plugin now works independent of the Mobile & RainLab User plugin. **

About Plugin

This plugin is similar to the RainLab.User plugin except it’s built to work with mobile front-ends. It exposes RESTful API nodes that enable interaction with the backend thereby allowing users to sign up and login.

Tutorial and demonstration of the plugin here.

Features

• Completely extensible.
• Select either login via Backend or Frontend (requires RainLab.User plugin) user models.

Coming Soon

• Compatible with the multiple mobile apps feature of the mobile plugin.
• Dashboard widget to provide user signup and register analytics.
• Forgot password and signing out nodes (Currently, you can do it through website only).
• Multiple Auth Schemes for better security.

Requirements

• Mohsin.RESTful plugin.

Client-side Integration

On the mobile app, you will have to make a call to the backend using the REST API that has been provided. Right now, the API works like this:

POST /account/signin

Resource URL: /api/v1/account/signin

Parameters	Description
instance_id	A unique ID, such as device ID or an ID generated using Google’s Instance ID API. Eg. 573b61d82b4e46e3
package	The package name of the application. Must match the name specified in the variants. Eg. com.acme.myapp
email (or) username*	The login attribute for the user attempting to sign in.
password*	The password for the user attempting to sign in.

POST /account/register

Resource URL: /api/v1/account/register

Parameters	Description
name	The name of the user attempting registration.
email*	The email for the user attempting registration.
username	The username for the user attempting registration.
password*	The password for the user attempting registration.

All * (asterisk) fields are mandatory.

mobileuser-plugin's Issues

Error when using login and register API

I got the mobile plugin to work -as in /api/v1/installs worked well and I see a record inserted.
I moved on to try the mobile user plugin, but doing a POST on register and login didn't work.

For login, I have:

https://www.domain.com/api/v1/account/signin?package=com.domain.app&[email protected]&password=test123&instance_id=123

I'm getting this message back:

"The instance id field is required."

For register, I have:

https://www.domain.com/api/v1/account/[email protected]&name=test ap&password=test123&username=testusernam

I'm getting this message back:

"The email field is required."

thanks,

You are sending the request as a GET request with the parameters in the URL when I've mentioned in the documentation that it's a POST request. Kindly read the documentation and your issue would be resolved.

Mutliple variants causing problems

I went to create a new variant and received duplicate index error regarding my package name, but only one variant was listed in the app.

I went into phpmyadmin and cleared out the tables and it allowed me to create the variant. However, when I went to the Mobile controller to look at my installed instances, I received an out of bounds index error.

I looked into the code and found the problem and had to clear out the sessions table from the database.

I neglected to take some screenshots so my explanation may not be very helpful.

Update: Here's a screen shot

Sorry to keep bothering you. I am trying to get your plugins to work with a React Native project.. so far I am able to get my login working but I am having trouble with the Install API.

Using Postman, I am able to post to the end point and I think I have narrowed down my problem to around Line 86 where the method tries to save a new Install:

if($install->save()) {

I did some debugging by placing a return statement throughout the method (return $instance_id) and was able to get it to return properly all the way up to just before this line.

Now, I changed the save() method to create() and it will return $instance_id. If I removed the debug statement, show the install message in Postman.

However, going back to my app, if try to run call the Install endpoint there, I receive an Unrecognized token ‘<’ which tells me the JSON response is not correct.

What I’m trying to figure out is why Postman would be returning a JSON object but not my app.

Thanks again, I hope to hear back from you.

Last seen not updating

This issue extends to the Mobile Plugin as well. Multiple installs and/or signins do not update the last seen field.

Implementing relationConfig in Plugin.php

Hello,

I think you can improve the code in the Plugin.php that implements the relationConfig by safely merging instead of replacing it.

May I suggest using:

            // Safely splice in config for jobs relation
            $myConfigPath = '$/mohsin/user/models/relation.yaml';

            $controller->relationConfig = $controller->mergeConfig(
                $controller->relationConfig,
                $myConfigPath
            );

I tried to create a pull request but it wont let me. Thanks.

No problem! This issue has already been addressed anyway.

@timetraveller1992 Hey Mohsin, it's been a while since I worked on this project. I'm going to close the issue. Thanks!

[Comment created by timetraveller1992: 2018-04-22]
Yep, I’ve planned to add this but later since it’s not too critical. The code is in a private repo and this one is mainly for the issue tracker and that’s why the PR failed. Thanks a lot for letting me know. I’ll update it in a couple of days.
