[TYPO3-dev] Register/User Login via REST

[Johannes Mueller]

Hi,
I try to build an angular frontend with typo3 7 acting as backend (RESTful
web service) delivering JSON objects and handling user authentication.

Are there any recommendations/guidelines regarding integration of typo3
register and login flows into a web service in general? In an ideal world I
could handle the login action in an overwritten user controller via a POST
action f.e. example.com/user/login
POST: {"email": "test at user.local", "pw": "pass"}
return a session object including a csrf token, a session id/session name
and the user roles and proceed with them. Anything in typo3 world, that
makes this approach difficult?

The extension model delivery works straight forward, so I don't have any
question regarding the data CRUD parts.

I found the informations on http://rest.cundd.net and
http://de.slideshare.net/Kabarakh1/angular-js-und-typ-doh3 to be my only
resources at the moment :/ Do other sources regarding this topic exist?
Does anyone has experience regarding my approach?

Thanks. J. M.
