=head1 NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal::Backend - Minimal
authentication storage backend.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # you probably just want Store::Minimal under most cases,
    # but if you insist you can instantiate your own store:

    use Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal::Backend;

    use Catalyst qw/
        Authentication
        Authentication::Credential::Password
    /;

    my %users = (
        user => { password => "s3cr3t" },
    );
    
    our $users = Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal::Backend->new(\%users);

    sub action : Local {
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

        $c->login( $users->get_user( $c->req->param("login") ),
            $c->req->param("password") );
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

You probably want L<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::Minimal>, unless
you are mixing several stores in a single app and one of them is Minimal.

Otherwise, this lets you create a store manually.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new $hash_ref

Constructs a new store object, which uses the supplied hash ref as it's backing
structure.

=item get_user $id

Keys the hash by $id and returns the value.

If the return value is unblessed it will be blessed as
L<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::User::Hash>.

=item user_supports

Chooses a random user from the hash and delegates to it.
