I am using Laravel, and wanted some auth functionality. The 2 leaders as far as packages are concerned seem to be Confide and Sentry.
I tried Confide initially, but lost confidence (ironically) in it almost instantly when the generated login view created errors (seems the migration didn't add a username field), along with other views after that problem was fixed.
So now I am trying Sentry. However, despite being popular, it seems that Sentry still requires a lot of work to get a very basic auth system up and running. From what I can tell there are no routes, views or controllers generated, so a lot of the grunt work still has to be done manually. Confide set up all of the views, routes and controllers for me so after install I could literally just visit /users/create and see the sign up form.
Am I right in thinking there is no way to generate these routes, views and controllers for Sentry? If that is the case I see little benefit to using Sentry over using the built in Auth, aside from perhaps the login throttling features.
