Creating Simple Login Page with ActionHero 2023

Actionhero is another web framework for Node.js that allows you to build scalable API and web server applications. It is designed to be flexible and extensible, and can be used to build a wide range of applications.

Here is an example of a simple login page built with Actionhero:

const { api, Action } = require('actionhero')

class Login extends Action {
  constructor () {
    super()
    this.name = 'login'
    this.description = 'Logs a user in'
    this.inputs = {
      username: { required: true },
      password: { required: true }
    }
  }

  async run (data) {
    // Validate the username and password against the database
    const user = await api.users.validate(data.params.username, data.params.password)

    if (user) {
      // Set the session data and redirect to the dashboard
      data.response.user = user
      data.response.redirect = '/dashboard'
    } else {
      // Invalid username or password, redirect back to the login page
      data.response.redirect = '/login'
    }
  }
}

module.exports = Login

In this example, the Login class extends the Action class provided by Actionhero, and defines an async run method that is called when the action is executed. The run method takes the user's credentials as input, and uses the api.users.validate method to check if they are valid. If they are, the user is redirected to the dashboard, otherwise they are redirected back to the login page.

As with the Fastify example, this is just a simple example and you will likely want to add more features and security measures to your login page.
