User management service

This package provides some utilities for user management from the express route down to the mongoose data layer.

How to use

It's quite simple, just do:

import users from 'user-management-service';

const unless = {
  path: [
    { url: /\/signup/ },
    { url: /\/login/ }
  ]
};

mongoose.Promise = Promise;

const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(users({ secret: 'somesecret', app, unless, mongoose }));

The options required are:

• secret: some string secret used to encode and decode the tokens
• app: the express app
• mongoose: the mongoose object used on your project
• unless: the endpoints you don't want to be authenticated

In case you want the login and signup to be in different sub-endpoints:

const unless = {
  path: [
    { url: /\/your\/endpoint\/signup/ },
    { url: /\/your\/endpoint\/login/ }
  ]
};

app.use('/your/endpoint', users({ ..., unless }));

Implementation details

This package saves the users in an users collection on mongodb, requiring the fields username, password and email and accepting a role field.

We don't implement anything related to ACLs, so you can use your own implementation or use some third party library.

TODO

• Implement Facebook login
