Skip Rodauth GET routes

[shafiqapandi]

Is it possible to skip certain views such as validation and logout?

For Validation:
User automatically get verified when clicking on link instead of going through the form in the account_verify views

For Logout:
User automatically log out on "/logout" instead of going through the form in the logout views

You should be able to do it by routing those requests before the r.rodauth call (which routes Rodauth requests), and not returning any response, which should cause Roda to return a 404 on these requests.

# app/misc/rodauth_app.rb
class RodauthApp < Rodauth::Rails::App
  route do |r|
    r.get("verify-account") {} # should return 404
    r.get("logout") {} # should return 404

    r.rodauth
  end
end

I saw you asked the same question on the Rodauth repo (jeremyevans/rodauth#263), I'm curious what Jeremy will say 🙂

It still didn't log out, just return a blank page.

Is it possible to do the same like in Devise where you could just set config.sign_out_via = :get and sign out with "/logout" url?

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you're already using the POST routes, and wanted to disable the GET routes. I will post a separate answer.

Thank you!

I think the simplest way would be to hide the form, and automatically submit it on page load. With Stimulus and Bootstrap, you could implement it as follows:

<!-- app/views/rodauth/verify_account.html.erb -->
<%= form_with url: rodauth.verify_account_path, method: :post, data: { turbo: false, controller: "submit" }, class: "d-none" do |form| %>
  <!-- ... -->
<% end %>

// app/javascript/controllers/submit_controller.js
import { Controller } from "@hotwired/stimulus"

export default class extends Controller {
  connect() {
    this.element.requestSubmit()
  }
}
