[RFC] migration from members to auth about auth HOT 8 CLOSED

I've added a page in the docs for this, if there is anything else that you feel should go there please an issue or PR in the docs repo! :)

Hmm.. I'm finding out about the not a drop in replacement at the moment too ...

Maybe a list of common things that need to change somewhere.

Stuff like is_member() that needs to be renamed to is_auth()
And member() to auth(), member_meta() to auth_meta()

from auth.

The procedure is basically: "Is it called member? change it to auth."

I thought it best to be consistent with the renaming, so I renamed all the things.

@jadwigo I've been thinking about this one. There is no way for us to automatically fix all of these things, and even if we could fix db tables, config and templates via some god-awful regex or some other method that'd still leave any extensions that depend on the old namespaces and so on.

I'd rather view this as a "spiritual continuation" sort of thing, not a drop-in replacement, and half-assing the migration (only updating the db tables) does not seem productive to me. I'd be very happy to have that SQL in the docs though, it just seems to me like automating it is setting up expectations we won't meet. Does that make sense to you?

from auth.

Yes it makes sense... automating it would probably mean also creating a transpiler for members-addon extensions or something like that.

Maybe a "migrating_from_members.md" in the documentation that outlines the steps you need to do would do the trick.

Yep, gonna put that together before I tag :) I'mma keep this issue around to remind me to do it

For PostgreSQL you need:

ALTER TABLE bolt_members_account RENAME TO bolt_auth_account;
ALTER TABLE bolt_members_account_meta RENAME TO bolt_auth_account_meta;
ALTER TABLE bolt_members_oauth RENAME TO bolt_auth_oauth;
ALTER TABLE bolt_members_provider RENAME TO bolt_auth_provider;
ALTER TABLE bolt_members_token RENAME TO bolt_auth_token;

ALTER SEQUENCE bolt_members_account_id_seq RENAME TO bolt_auth_account_id_seq;
ALTER SEQUENCE bolt_members_account_meta_id_seq RENAME TO bolt_auth_account_meta_id_seq;
ALTER SEQUENCE bolt_members_oauth_id_seq RENAME TO bolt_auth_oauth_id_seq;
ALTER SEQUENCE bolt_members_provider_id_seq RENAME TO bolt_auth_provider_id_seq;
ALTER SEQUENCE bolt_members_token_id_seq RENAME TO bolt_auth_token_id_seq;
