Expand description

The helper trait to obtain your identity from a request.

use actix_web::middleware::identity::RequestIdentity;
use actix_web::*;

fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> Result<String> {
    // access request identity
    if let Some(id) = req.identity() {
        Ok(format!("Welcome! {}", id))
    } else {
        Ok("Welcome Anonymous!".to_owned())
    }
}

fn login(mut req: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse {
    req.remember("User1".to_owned()); // <- remember identity
    HttpResponse::Ok().finish()
}

fn logout(mut req: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse {
    req.forget(); // <- remove identity
    HttpResponse::Ok().finish()
}
