Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a good looking login page, but I noticed the loginHandler that comes with yesod-auth just concatenates all the widgets from all the used auth backends. To make matters worse, the markup some of the backends generate is not even my preferred brand! :)
So I try to at least wrap the authEmail widget inside my own html, with a login.hamlet file that looks a bit like this:
.box
%h1 Login
.wrapper
^email^
I manage to get the widget out of the authEmail backend, but then I can't use it inside my hamlet file that I add using addHamlet b/c it doesn't typecheck.
loginHandler = do
let tm = liftHandler getRouteToMaster
let email = tm >>= apLogin authEmail
defaultLayout $ do
setTitle $ string "Login"
addHamlet $(Settings.hamletFile "login")
Is there any way around this? Am I approaching this the wrong way?
This could also be solved if instead of a widget I could get the url and fieldname information from the backend, so I can use those things inside my ad-hoc html.
Moreso, as a way to customize the html I'm tempted to override or redefine apLogin inside my app's domain so I can customize the html it generates. But just to keep taking advantage of haskell's strenghts it would be nice to formalize this idea a bit more (and I don't know how to approach that).
thanks in advance for your help
cheers!
