login-utils

login-utils is a very simple user authentication library. The library has a default User MangoDB model (using mongoose). Moreover, the encryption of the password is performed using bcrypt.

Installation

$ npm install login-utils

Usage

The api is very straightforward to use.

Changing bcrypt number of rounds (default is 11):

  var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
  loginUtils.setBcryptNumberOfRounds(15);
 
  //You can get the current number of rounds via
  var nbOfRounds = loginUtils.getBcryptNumberOfRounds();
  console.log("Current bcrypt number of rounds is %d", nbOfRounds);

Finding a user by his email address:

  var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
  var email = "[e-mail]";
 
  loginUtils.findUserByEmail(email, function(err, user){
    if(err){
      console.log("An error occurred while trying to find user by email: %s", err);
    }else{
      console.log("User has been retrieved: [id=%s, first-name=%s, last-name=%s, user-name=%s" +
                  ", email=%s, hashed-password=%s, bcrypt-salt=%s]", user._id, user.firstName, user.lastName,
                  user.userName, user.email, user.password, user.salt);
    }
  });
 

Finding a user by his/her user name:

  var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
  var userName = "kenshiro.hackuto";
 
  loginUtils.findUserByUserName(userName, function(err, user){
    if(err){
      console.log("An error occurred while trying to find user by user name: %s", err);
    }else{
      console.log("User has been retrieved: [id=%s, first-name=%s, last-name=%s, user-name=%s" +
                  ", email=%s, hashed-password=%s, bcrypt-salt=%s]", user._id, user.firstName, user.lastName,
                  user.userName, user.email, user.password, user.salt);
    }
  });
 

Finding a user by his/her first and last name:

  var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
  var firstName = "kenshiro";
  var lastName = "hackuto";
 
  loginUtils.findUsersByFirstAndLastName(firstName, lastName, function(err, user){
    if(err){
      console.log("An error occurred while trying to find user by first and last name: %s", err);
    }else{
      console.log("User has been retrieved: [id=%s, first-name=%s, last-name=%s, user-name=%s" +
                  ", email=%s, hashed-password=%s, bcrypt-salt=%s]", user._id, user.firstName, user.lastName,
                  user.userName, user.email, user.password, user.salt);
    }
  });
 

Checking user login details against what is stored

   var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
   var password = "Hackuto-Shinken is invincible";
   var email = "[e-mail]";
 
   loginUtils.loginCheck(email, password, function(err, response){
     if(err){
      console.log("An error occurred when authenticating user: %s", err);
     }else if(!response.user){
      console.log(response.message);
     }else{
      var user = response.user;
      console.log("Successfully authenticated user: [id=%s, first-name=%s, last-name=%s, user-name=%s" +
                        ", email=%s, hashed-password=%s, bcrypt-salt=%s]", user._id, user.firstName, user.lastName, user.userName,
                        user.email, user.password, user.salt);
     }
   });
 

Creating a user

  var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
  var firstName = "kenshiro";
  var lastName = "hackuto";
  var password = "Hackuto-Shinken is invincible";
  var email = "[e-mail]";
 
  loginUtils.createNewUser({
      firstName: firstName,
      lastName: lastName,
      userName: firstName + "." + lastName,
      password: password,
      email: email
    }, function(err, user){
      if(err){
        console.log("An error occurred creating user: %s", err);
      }else{
        console.log("Successfully created user: [id=%s, first-name=%s, last-name=%s, user-name=%s" +
                    ", email=%s, hashed-password=%s, bcrypt-salt=%s]", user._id, user.firstName, user.lastName, user.userName
                    user.email, user.password, user.salt);
      }
    });

Creating a social media user

Note that this will also create a user, if not user with a matching email address is found.

    var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
    var firstName = "kenshiro";
    var lastName = "hackuto";
    var password = "Hackuto-Shinken is invincible";
    var email = "[e-mail]";
    var providerName = "Facebook";
    var providerUserId = "1234Fbk07";
    var displayName = "kenshiro-o";
 
    var socialMediaUserData = {
      firstName: firstName,
      lastName: lastName,
      userName: kenshiro-o,
      email: email,
      providerName: providerName,
      providerUserId: providerUserId,
      displayName: displayName;
    };
 
    loginUtils.createSocialMediaUser(socialMediaUserData, function(err, socialMediaUser){
      if(err){
          console.log("An error occurred when trying to create social media user [error=%s]", err);
      }else{
        var user = socialMediaUser.user;
        console.log("Successfully created a social media user [social-media-user-id=%s, provider-name=%s, provider-user-id=%s, display-name=%s]",
                     socialMediaUser._id, socialMediaUser.providerName, socialMediaUser.providerUserId, socialMediaUser.displayName);
 
        console.log("User associated with social media user is the following: [user-id=%s, first-name=%s, last-name=%s," +
                    "email=%s, hashed-password=%s, bcrypt-salt=%s]", user._id, user.firstName, user.lastName, user.email,
                    user.password, user.salt);
 
      }
    });
 

Create a password reset token

   var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
   var email = "[e-mail]";
   //Token expires in 5 hours
   var expiryInMillis = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 5;
   loginUtils.setPasswordResetTokenValidityInMillis(expiryInMillis);
 
   loginUtils.createPasswordResetToken(email, function(err, token){
     if(err){
      console.log("An error occurred when trying to create password reset token for user: %s", err);
     } else{
        console.log("Successfully created a password reset token [user-id=%s, token-string=%s, token-expiry=%s]",
                    token.user, token.token, token.expiry);
     }
   });
 

Find a password reset token by token string

   var loginUtils = require("login-utils");
   var tokenString = "GIBBERISH_)821832jkhhfdshdfhdls";
 
   loginUtils.findPasswordResetTokenByTokenString(tokenString, function(err, token){
     if(err){
      console.log("An error occurred when trying to find password reset token by token string: %s", err);
     }else if(!token){
      console.log("No such password reset token exists [token-string=%s]", tokenString);
     }else{
        console.log("Found password reset token [user-id=%s, token-string=%s, token-expiry=%s]",
                    token.user, token.token, token.expiry);
     }
   });
