A Seneca.js user management plugin.

@seneca/user

	This open source module is sponsored and supported by Voxgig.

Description

This module is a plugin for the Seneca framework. It provides a set of common user management actions (register, login etc.).

Install

npm install seneca
npm install seneca-promisify // dependency
npm install seneca-entity // dependency
npm install @seneca/user

Quick example

Register a user and then create an automatic login for testing.

const Seneca = require('seneca')

var seneca = Seneca()
  .use('promisify')
  .use('entity')
  .use('user')

var out = await seneca.post('sys:user,register:user', {
  handle: 'alice'
})

console.log('USER:', out.user)

out = await seneca.post('sys:user,login:user', {
  handle: 'alice',
  auto: true
})

console.log('LOGIN:', out.login)

Because Seneca treats messages as first-class citizens, 90% of unit testing can be implemented with message scenarios that also provide detailed usage examples:

• register_get
• password
• adjust
• verify
• login
• logout
• change
• final
