PhoenixTokenPlug, for authentication with Phoenix.Token
Hi, I’ve just released my first hex package today (yay!).
Phoenix.Token.Plug is a collection of plugs for Phoenix.Token-based authentication, useful for API calls. It’s a bit like Guardian, but designed to use Phoenix.Token instead of JWT. Currently it only supports verifying Authorization header and ensuring that a request is authenticated, which fits my use case, but there are more available and interesting capabilities yet to be discovered.
Usage instruction is on the GitHub readme. Do give feedbacks, issues, and PRs!

Very nice! One recommendation I have is the community convention would be to not stomp the Phoenix namespace. So instead of Phoenix.Token.Plug, can you rename your project to PhoenixToken? Then the PhoenixToken.Plug module could be called as normal.

Awesome! Just need a VerifyCookie to copy the VerifyHeader functionality and it is the basics of what is needed.

I’ve just published phoenix_token_plug v0.2.0, which renames the namespace to PhoenixTokenPlug. I figured I might as well merge the .Plug namespace since PhoenixToken wouldn’t have any functionality on its own (and neither would PhoenixToken.Plug). I’ve also added the functionality suggestions to the repo’s issues and will tackle it when I have the time.
Keep in mind that the API might still be unstable at this point

At least I still have the PhoenixTokenPlug module for utility functions, or if it comes to it, possibly PhoenixTokenPlug.Utils? 
I guess we’ll see how it unfolds, naming things is hard.

And a way to customize the assign key to something other than :user as someone may already use :user or may want multiple lookups.
EDIT: And a way to customize the callback function name too on EnsureAuthenticated. ^.^
