User Management Module

This module allows you to manage users (login, registration, permission groups, etc.) in an ExpressJS backend. With it, you can easily add user management functionality to your existing project.

Installation

You can install the module from npm or copy the files to your project.

Installation from npm

npm install @lcaparros/user-management

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the files.
2. Copy the files to your project.
3. Make sure to install the necessary dependencies:

npm install express jsonwebtoken mongoose bcryptjs

Usage

Configuration

1. Create a .env file at the root of your project with the following variables:

JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_key

2. Import and use the module in your Express application:

import express from 'express';
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import { authRoutes, userRoutes } from '@lcaparros/user-management'; // Or the relative path if you copied the files

const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.use(express.json());

// Connect to MongoDB
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
  .then(() => console.log('MongoDB connected'))
  .catch(err => console.log(err));

// Use authentication and user routes
app.use('/api/auth', authRoutes);
app.use('/api/users', userRoutes);

app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`);
});

Role Verification Middleware

You can protect your endpoints by adding the authorizeRoles middleware:

import { authorizeRoles, verifyToken } from '@lcaparros/user-management';

// Protect an endpoint for only admins
app.get('/api/users', verifyToken, authorizeRoles(['admin', 'user_manager']), (req, res) => {
  // Your logic here
});
