Authenticare NPM

Authenticare

A JWT helper library for full-stack Node apps

You can find an example fullstack application in the example folder.

You can find the docs for the most important functions exported for both client-side and server-side use in the docs folder.

Improved the error message coming from the client register and signIn functions
Example: added an error message to the Register and SignIn pages to show the improved error message
Docs: updated docs for register and signIn to illustrate how to use the error message

Replaced libsodium-wrappers-sumo with libsodium
Removed nock as a devDependency
Updated all possible dependencies
Moved tests to same folder as code under test
Running tests require NodeJS version 14 or greater (due to use of the optional chaining operator ?)
Removed testing folder - I might bring it back later if I can get happy with it
Improved lint config and applied fixes throughout codebase (thanks @joshuavial)
Example: require username and password on sign-in and register forms
A LOT of code refactorings (mostly aesthetics)

Added server/token/getTokenDecoder to replace server/token/decode to allow a route to succeed regardless if a token is provided or not. Currently decode will throw if a token is not found. decode is deprecated and will be removed in v0.5.0.
Updated the example an tutorial to reflect this change.
Updated dependencies to fix known security vulnerabilities.

client/getDecodedToken was added
client/getAuthorizationHeader was added (getEncodedToken is still available, but less relevant now)
A tutorial was added (but it still needs more work)

client/getAuthToken was function renamed to getDecodedToken to match getEncodedToken
The createUser function passed to server/applyAuthRoutes now takes a single user object parameter instead of username and password parameters
