Autologin to sway

Hello everyone, it's my first time posting here.
So, I installed swaywm and I want it to start automatically after I enter my password for the disk encryption.
How can I achieve this behavior?

I tried:
installing autologin from AUR - it is pretty much what i need BUT I can't use sudo (and possibly some other things?).
Installing pam_autologin from AUR - still need to type in my username and start sway.

Jeezus ... those are packages?  Get rid of that nonsense and follow the wiki:
