#Poach
Poach is a work in progress and currently only provides anti-collision on usernames seeded by PassportJS oauth strategies. Don't use this right now. It's sort of in proof-of-concept stage. I needed something that would extend PassportJS beyond authentication.
For example, in a Passport Twitter strategy implementation, you might seed Poach.user() with Passport's profile.username.
// create account
Poach.user(profile.username, usernameAvailable, function(err, newUsername) {
if (err) console.log(err);
user = new User({
name: profile.displayName,
username: newUsername,
provider: 'twitter',
twitter: profile._json
});
user.save(function(err) {
if (err) console.log(err)
done(err, user)
});
});The above example uses usernameAvailable as its username availability callback, which for a Mongoose User model might look like this:
// username availability callback for Poach
var usernameAvailable = function(username, callback) {
User.findOne({username:username}, function(err, user) {
if (err) return callback(err);
if (!user) return callback(null, true);
return callback(null, false);
});
}
