Login with username or email with Cakephp 3
I've found the solution!
I assumed that username is alphaNumeric (letters and numbers).
Remember to add $this->Auth->constructAuthenticate();
AppController.php
use Cake\Controller\Controller;
use Cake\Event\Event;
use Cake\Core\Configure;
class AppController extends Controller
{
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'loginRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'index'
],
'logoutRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'login'
]
]);
}
}
UsersController.php
use App\Controller\AppController;
use Cake\Validation\Validation;
class UsersController extends AppController
{
public function login()
{
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if (Validation::email($this->request->data['username'])) {
$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
'Form' => [
'fields' => ['username' => 'email']
]
]);
$this->Auth->constructAuthenticate();
$this->request->data['email'] = $this->request->data['username'];
unset($this->request->data['username']);
}
$user = $this->Auth->identify();
if ($user) {
$this->Auth->setUser($user);
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
}
$this->Flash->error(__('Invalid username or password, try again'));
}
}
}
login.ctp
<div class="form">
<?= $this->Flash->render('auth') ?>
<?= $this->Form->create() ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?= __('Please enter your username and password') ?></legend>
<?= $this->Form->input('username') ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('password') ?>
</fieldset>
<?= $this->Form->button(__('Login')); ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>
</div>
