Ember-simple-auth: Authenticating from URL

I have a requirement that I can append ?auth_token=x to any URL in my app and it will restore the session as if you had a cookie or the details were stored in local storage.

I've tried every manner I can think of to implement this over the last few hours but I'm not getting anywhere. Is this possible? Where should I be looking to add such functionality?

I'm not sure I understand what you're doing. It seems like you're restoring the session from an auth token in the query string? That's actually what the authenticator's restore method is for (see docs here: http://ember-simple-auth.simplabs.com/ember-simple-auth-devise-api-docs.html#Ember-SimpleAuth-Authenticators-Devise-restore). Also when the application starts isn't the query string empty?

I'm answering my own question here as I managed to find a solution, although how correct it is I'm not sure!

application.js:

// Really simple query parameter access
(function($) {
  $.QueryString = (function(a) {
    if (a == "") return {};
    var b = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; ++i)
    {
      var p=a[i].split('=');
      if (p.length != 2) continue;
      b[p[0]] = decodeURIComponent(p[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
    }
    return b;
  })(window.location.search.substr(1).split('&'))
})(jQuery);

initializers/authentication.js.coffee:

LocalStorageWithURLAuth = Ember.SimpleAuth.Stores.LocalStorage.extend
  init: ->
    if $.QueryString['auth_token']
      auth_token = $.QueryString['auth_token']
      Ember.$.ajax(
        async: false
        url: '/users/sign_in'
        type: 'POST'
        data: { auth_token: auth_token }
        dataType: 'json'
      ).then (data) =>
        @persist
          auth_token: data.auth_token
          auth_email: data.auth_email
          user_id: data.user_id
          authenticatorFactory: 'authenticator:devise'
        @_super()
      , (error) =>
        @_super()
    else
      @_super()

Ember.Application.initializer
  name: 'authentication'
  initialize: (container, application) ->
    Ember.SimpleAuth.Session.reopen
      user: (->
        userId = @get 'user_id'
        if !Ember.isEmpty userId
          container.lookup('store:main').find 'user', userId
      ).property('user_id')

    container.register 'session-store:local-storage-url', LocalStorageWithURLAuth

    Ember.SimpleAuth.setup container, application,
      storeFactory: 'session-store:local-storage-url'
      authenticatorFactory: 'authenticator:devise'
      authorizerFactory: 'authorizer:devise'
