  @doc """
  Returns authenticated user SAML Assertion.

  The struct includes the attributes sent from IdP as well as any corresponding locally
  computed/derived attributes. Returns `nil` if the current Plug session
  is not authenticated.

  ## Parameters

  +   `conn` - Plug connection

  ## Examples

      # When there is an authenticated SAML assertion
      %Assertion{} = Samly.get_active_assertion()

  @doc """
  Returns value of the specified attribute name in the given SAML Assertion.

  Checks for the attribute in `computed` map first and `attributes` map next.
  Returns a UTF-8 binary or a list of UTF-8 binaries (in case of multi-valued)
  if the given attribute is present. Returns `nil` if attribute is not present.

  ## Parameters

  +   `assertion` - SAML assertion obtained by calling `get_active_assertion/1`
  +   `name`: Attribute name

  ## Examples

      assertion = Samly.get_active_assertion()
      # returns a list if the attribute is multi-valued
      roles = Samly.get_attribute(assertion, "roles")
      computed_fullname = Samly.get_attribute(assertion, "fullname")
