doorman
An Elixir authentication library for Plug and Phoenix applications that provides a simple API with flexible underlying modules.
What is doorman?
Doorman is an authentication library for Elixir's Plug and Phoenix frameworks that simplifies user authentication with Ecto. It provides an opinionated, easy-to-use interface for session-based authentication while maintaining flexibility through modular design. The library helps developers avoid excessive configuration and rigid frameworks when implementing authentication in their Elixir applications.
Elixir developers building web applications with Phoenix and Ecto who need a straightforward authentication solution. Specifically, developers who want session-based authentication without the complexity of larger authentication frameworks.
Developers choose Doorman because it balances simplicity with flexibility—offering an opinionated high-level API while allowing direct use of core modules for custom authentication flows. Unlike rigid frameworks, Doorman provides essential authentication features (session management, password hashing, credential validation) without forcing developers into specific patterns.
