Replacement modules for AuthenticateUserTrait.php

mic

I notice that in the newest version of flarum, flarum/core/src/Forum/Controller/AuthenticateUserTrait.php is removed, as well as some other files such as flarum/core/src/Api/Command/GenerateAccessToken.php.
Also database table access_tokens is changed(column created_at and expires_at is replaced). May I know why, and if I'd like to use AuthenticateUserTrait, which new class should I use?

mic That was just one of many refactorings, as is to be expected during the beta process.

What exactly are/were you using it for?

Authentication is now handled by two middlewares: AuthenticateWithSession and AuthenticateWithHeader. If any of these pass, they store the current user as "actor" in the request object, which can then be accessed in the controller using $request->getAttribute('actor'), for example.

Note that this will probably be changed again slightly in one of te coming betas.

AuthenticateUserTrait facilitated the creation of a response when authenticating/registering a user from an external party (i.e. single sign-on stuff). It's been replaced with the AuthenticationResponseFactory. If you're using OAuth2, we've also abstracted away most of that boilerplate (example). If not, you can use the factory directly (example).
