User-management-service NPM

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.
