Login/Sign-Up ViewControllers Ready-To-Use with your Custom Backend
Building a authentication system can be tedious and repeative. Why write the same code over and over when you could be spending time working on real application logic? SDLoginKit is a simple library that provides Login and Sign-Up viewcontrollers out-of-the-box. Just subscribe to a delegate callback, respond with the built-in success/failure methods (or roll your own) then BAM! You are ready to start managing and creating users. Want to customize the entire experience? No problem just override authenticateWithCredential and all the codez belong to you! You can even add your own logo to the login screen. Just set logoImage to the UIImage of your choice.
SDLoginKit is named LoginKit, because it has everything you need add a fully-customizable authentication system to your iOS Application.
SDLoginKit is meant to save you time so you can focus on what matters, application logic. The library is still a little green behind the ears and I would love to see any issues or pull request you may have. There is a sample project if you have any question on how it all works.
Submit an Pull Request/Issue/Enhancement and keep up with my progress in the worklog.
I am working to create pre-defined implementations for different authentication systems like the following:
- Devise
- OmniAuth
- Your-favorite-authenication
Please help me by submitting a generic implementation with your back-end of choice.
Overall, this is a great way to get your authentication up and running then you can go from there.
If you enjoy this project, I would encourage you to check out SDScaffoldKit the easiest way to create views for your Core Data models. I also highly recommend you follow Mattt Thompson and his series of open source libraries covering the mission-critical aspects of an iOS app's infrastructure. Be sure to check out its sister projects: GroundControl, SkyLab, CargoBay, and houston.
