Question on how to use the package about goth HOT 4 CLOSED

Typically in an app when you get the callback from a provider you would store the user in your database for look up later. Then you would probably drop a session cookie with some sort of pointer to that user for lookup later in a piece of middleware.

Since those steps are 100% unique to your application there is no "default" way to do it, which is why goth and gothic don't provide one. Once you get the callback from the provider it's up to you to do what is necessary for your application.

Hope that answers your question.

@markbates Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for, I wasn't sure if goth was suppose to handle the session since it create _gothic_session, and I though I was missing something.

Thanks for your replay, and thank for goth, it's amazing.

@markbates I was wondering the similar thing because goth set _gothic_session cookie. What is the purpose of _gothic_session cookie?

It holds on to information such a as which provider you are using so when you come back from the authenticating with that provider it can finish the process. Without it there would be no way of knowing that you clicked on Facebook, for example.
