I know Addict was only mentioned in passing, but I am curious: is that becoming the goto authentication library for Elixir/Phoenix?

In my work with Phoenix so far, I've taken the author's roll-your-own approach.

It did take longer to setup than just including Devise in Rails, but I also understand exactly how it works so I think there is some benefit there.

But for folks just getting started with Phoenix (esp. from Rails), I wonder if there should be a goto Devise-like option.

I've always taken the roll-your-own approach too using https://github.com/bryanjos/joken, though I hear about https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth a lot.

If you're using Absinthe you can create a easy middleware for auth as well.

To be honest I don't know yet =)

But I also curious why where is no devise-like library, because both Elixir and Devise comes from Plataformatec
