Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to use web authentication to secure routes with protected content in your Vapor web application. To do that, you created a new data model for administrative accounts and added routes and templates to manage the accounts. With this account-management feature, you were able to grant administrative rights to some users or provoke the rights later. Now only a specific group of users will be able to create, edit, or delete a journal entry with their credentials. Then, you worked on the same web authentication framework to secure all the routes under the /journal path. This chapter concludes your myJournal web application. In the next chapter, we will look at how to build more advanced web services.
