rodauth-model

Extension for Rodauth providing a mixin for the account model that defines password attribute and associations based on enabled authentication features. Supports both Active Record and Sequel models.

Installation

$ bundle add rodauth-model

Usage

The model mixin is built by calling Rodauth::Model(...) with the Rodauth auth class, and included into the account model:

require "rodauth/model" # require before enabling any authentication features

class RodauthApp < Roda
  plugin :rodauth do
    # ...
  end
end

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base # Sequel::Model
  include Rodauth::Model(RodauthApp.rodauth)
end

Password attribute

Regardless of whether you're storing the password hash in a column in the accounts table, or in a separate table, the #password attribute can be used to set or clear the password hash.

account = Account.create(email: "user@example.com", password: "secret")

# when password hash is stored in a column on the accounts table
account.password_hash #=> "$2a$12$k/Ub1I2iomi84RacqY89Hu4.M0vK7klRnRtzorDyvOkVI.hKhkNw."

# when password hash is stored in a separate table
account.password_hash #=> #<Account::PasswordHash...> (record from `account_password_hashes` table)
account.password_hash.password_hash #=> "$2a$12$k/Ub1..." (inaccessible when using database authentication functions)

account.password = nil # clears password hash
account.password_hash #=> nil

Note that the password attribute doesn't come with validations, making it unsuitable for forms. It was primarily intended to allow easily creating accounts in development console and in tests.

Associations

The mixin defines associations for Rodauth tables associated to the accounts table:

account.remember_key #=> #<Account::RememberKey> (record from `account_remember_keys` table)
account.active_session_keys #=> [#<Account::ActiveSessionKey>,...] (records from `account_active_session_keys` table)

You can also reference the associated models directly:

# model referencing the `account_authentication_audit_logs` table
Account::AuthenticationAuditLog.where(message: "login").group(:account_id)

The associated models define the inverse account association:

Account::ActiveSessionKey.eager(:account).map(&:account)

Association options

By default, all associations are configured to be deleted when the associated account record is deleted. When using Active Record, you can use :association_options to modify global or per-association options:

# don't auto-delete associations when account model is deleted (Active Record)
Rodauth::Model(RodauthApp.rodauth, association_options: { dependent: nil })

# require authentication audit logs to be eager loaded before retrieval (Sequel)
Rodauth::Model(RodauthApp.rodauth, association_options: -> (name) {
  { forbid_lazy_load: true } if name == :authentication_audit_logs
})

Extending models

When using Zeitwerk autoloading, extending an associated model in a separate file won't work, because Zeitwerk has no reason to load it, since the constant was already defined. You can work around this by extending the model in the parent file:

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Rodauth::Model(RodauthApp.rodauth) # defines associated models

  class ActiveSessionKey < ActiveRecord::Base
    # extend the model
  end
end

Association reference

Below is a list of all associations defined depending on the features loaded:

Feature	Association	Type	Model	Table (default)
account_expiration	:activity_time	has_one	ActivityTime	account_activity_times
active_sessions	:active_session_keys	has_many	ActiveSessionKey	account_active_session_keys
audit_logging	:authentication_audit_logs	has_many	AuthenticationAuditLog	account_authentication_audit_logs
disallow_password_reuse	:previous_password_hashes	has_many	PreviousPasswordHash	account_previous_password_hashes
email_auth	:email_auth_key	has_one	EmailAuthKey	account_email_auth_keys
jwt_refresh	:jwt_refresh_keys	has_many	JwtRefreshKey	account_jwt_refresh_keys
lockout	:lockout	has_one	Lockout	account_lockouts
lockout	:login_failure	has_one	LoginFailure	account_login_failures
otp	:otp_key	has_one	OtpKey	account_otp_keys
otp_unlock	:otp_unlock	has_one	OtpUnlock	account_otp_unlocks
password_expiration	:password_change_time	has_one	PasswordChangeTime	account_password_change_times
recovery_codes	:recovery_codes	has_many	RecoveryCode	account_recovery_codes
remember	:remember_key	has_one	RememberKey	account_remember_keys
reset_password	:password_reset_key	has_one	PasswordResetKey	account_password_reset_keys
single_session	:session_key	has_one	SessionKey	account_session_keys
sms_codes	:sms_code	has_one	SmsCode	account_sms_codes
verify_account	:verification_key	has_one	VerificationKey	account_verification_keys
verify_login_change	:login_change_key	has_one	LoginChangeKey	account_login_change_keys
webauthn	:webauthn_keys	has_many	WebauthnKey	account_webauthn_keys
webauthn	:webauthn_user_id	has_one	WebauthnUserId	account_webauthn_user_ids

Note

Some Rodauth tables use composite primary keys, which are supported in Active Record 7.1+. If you're on an older version of Active Record, you might need to add the composite_primary_keys gem to your Gemfile. Sequel has always natively supported composite primary keys.

Extending associations

It's possible to register custom associations for an external feature, which the model mixin would pick up and automatically define the association on the model if the feature is enabled.

# lib/rodauth/features/foo.rb
module Rodauth
  Feature.define(:foo, :Foo) do
    auth_value_method :foo_table, :account_foos
    auth_value_method :foo_id_column, :id
    # ...
  end
end

if defined?(Rodauth::Model)
  Rodauth::Model.register_association(:foo) do
    { name: :foo, type: :one, table: foo_table, key: foo_id_column }
  end
end

The Rodauth::Model.register_association method receives the feature name and a block, which is evaluted in the context of a Rodauth instance and should return the association definition with the following items:

• :name – association name
• :type – relationship type (:one for one-to-one, :many for one-to-many)
• :table – associated table name
• :key – foreign key on the associated table

It's possible to register multiple associations for the same Rodauth feature.

Examples

Checking whether account has multifactor authentication enabled

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Rodauth::Model(RodauthApp.rodauth)

  def mfa_enabled?
    otp_key || (sms_code && sms_code.num_failures.nil?) || recovery_codes.any?
  end
end

Retrieving all accounts with multifactor authentication enabled

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Rodauth::Model(RodauthApp.rodauth)

  scope :otp_setup, -> { where(otp_key: OtpKey.all) }
  scope :sms_codes_setup, -> { where(sms_code: SmsCode.where(num_failures: nil)) }
  scope :recovery_codes_setup, -> { where(recovery_codes: RecoveryCode.all) }
  scope :mfa_enabled, -> { merge(otp_setup.or(sms_codes_setup).or(recovery_codes_setup)) }
end

Future plans

Joined associations

It's possible to have multiple Rodauth configurations that operate on the same tables, but it's currently possible to define associations just for a single configuration. I would like to support grabbing associations from multiple associations.
