authful v1.0.2

Authful

A lightweight authentication library for Node

Summary

I find myself continously going through the process of implementing authentication for my projects and they only require a basic system to get started. This is a slightly higher level library that wraps jsonwebtoken and bcrypt and provides common methods.
