Trait Authenticatable 

pub trait Authenticatable {
    // Required method
    fn auth_identifier(&self) -> String;
}

Anything that can be logged in.

Only an identifier is required, because that is genuinely all the session needs to hold: everything else about the user is loaded from wherever users live. Keeping a whole serialized user in a session cookie is how stale — and eventually wrong — permissions get carried around for hours.

Required Methods

fn auth_identifier(&self) -> String

The value stored in the session, usually a primary key.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
