What I do is using Plugs.

The idea is when user get authenticated through the login page they will be redirected for example on a profile page (that you have to create yourself of course, but the following can works with the home page as well).

  • You need a Plug that ensures a profile exists for the current_user before accessing the above said page. If not, you redirect the user on a page where he will fill a form and complete his registration.
    I’m used to call this page controller MyApp.AccountController or MyApp.ProfileController. In fact I have often the both: the fisrt map to User schema and the last to Profile schema.

  • Now to load the profile into @current_user you can have a look to this reply that helped me.

I hope it helps a bit…
