Example Ember app that shows how to do authentication/authorization with FastBoot

Fastboot-auth-example

This example app shows how handling auth in Ember apps can be implemented when using FastBoot which requires the user's authentication state to be kept in sync between the Ember app running in the browser and the FastBoot server.

The master branch of this repo uses classic token based authorization of API requests using an Authorization header whereas the cookie-based branch uses cookies for transmitting the token to the API server which is more secure but has some implications on domains etc.

I'm introducing the concepts behind these apps at EmberCamp London, July 12th 2016.
