Overview

A strategy is a place where you can put logic related to authentication. Any strategy inherits from Warden::Strategies::Base.

The Warden::Strategies.add method is a simple way to provide custom strategies. You must declare an @authenticate!@ method. You may provide a @valid?@ method. The valid method should return true or false depending on if the strategy is a valid one for the request.

The parameters for Warden::Strategies.add method is:

<label: Symbol> The label is the name given to a strategy.  Use the label to refer to the strategy when authenticating
<strategy: Class|nil> The optional stragtegy argument if set _must_ be a class that inherits from Warden::Strategies::Base and _must_
                      implement an @authenticate!@ method
<block> The block acts as a convinient way to declare your strategy.  Inside is the class definition of a strategy.

Examples:

Block Declared Strategy:
 Warden::Strategies.add(:foo) do
   def authenticate!
     # authentication logic
   end
 end

 Class Declared Strategy:
   Warden::Strategies.add(:foo, MyStrategy)
