Update: Ember.SimpleAuth 0.1.0 has been released! The information in this is (partially) outdated.
After I wrote 2 blog posts on implementing token based authentication in Ember.js applications and got quite some feedback, good suggestions etc., I thought it would be nice to pack all these ideas in an Ember.js plugin so everybody could easily integrate that into their applications. Now I finally managed to release version 0.0.1 of that plugin: Ember.SimpleAuth.

Now, almost 2 months later, it has become clear that our initial approach was not really the best and had some shortcomings. So I implemented a better authentication (mostly based on the embercasts on authentication).

Update: After I wrote this I found out that it’s actually not the best approach to implement authentication in Ember.js… There are some things missing and some other things can be done in a much simpler way. I wrote a summary of the (better) authentication mechanism we moved to.
I’m using the latest (as of mid June 2013) ember/ember-data/handlebars code directly from the respective github repositories in this example.
