    pub struct Identity(_);

Expand description

The extractor type to obtain your identity from a request.

    use actix_web::*;
    use actix_identity::Identity;

    #[get("/")]
    async fn index(id: Identity) -> impl Responder {
        // access request identity
        if let Some(id) = id.identity() {
            format!("Welcome! {}", id)
        } else {
            "Welcome Anonymous!".to_owned()
        }
    }

    #[post("/login")]
    async fn login(id: Identity) -> impl Responder {
        // remember identity
        id.remember("User1".to_owned());

        HttpResponse::Ok()
    }

    #[post("/logout")]
    async fn logout(id: Identity) -> impl Responder {
        // remove identity
        id.forget();

        HttpResponse::Ok()
    }

## Implementations

source

### impl Identity

source

#### pub fn identity(&self) -> Option<String>

Return the claimed identity of the user associated request or `None` if no identity can be found associated with the request.

source

#### pub fn remember(&self, identity: String)

Remember identity.

source

#### pub fn forget(&self)

This method is used to ‘forget’ the current identity on subsequent requests.
