Required Technologies

• Node / NPM: Node version 12 or greater is recommended.

Installation

To install, run:

npm install @dataquiver/cognito-middleware --save

Useage

The intent of this package is to make using a middleware which will add the cognito user to your request easy.

1. While all classes are exported individually in this package, the easiest way to use this package is through the getMiddlewares function.

    const { websocketMiddleware, expressMiddleware } = await getMiddlewares({
      cognitoPoolRegion: 'TODO',
      cognitoPoolId: 'TODO' ,
      cognitoClientId:  'TODO',
      cognitoIdentityServiceProvider, 
      db,
      portalApi, 
      isPortalApi: false
   });

The db, portalApi, and isPortalApi parameters are only used when you are using this class on the server which manages users.

returns { websocketMiddleware, expressMiddleware }

Contributing

1. Clone this repo
2. Run npm install to download dependencies
3. Run npm run build to compile typescript into javascript for distribution
4. Run npm run lint to run lint checks. This is also in a pre-commit hook.

Testing

We're using jest to write tests for core functionality. To run tests, run npm test.

You can also use jest in watch mode with npm run test:watch. This will monitor your files and rerun the tests when the code changes

Publishing

1. Update CHANGELOG.md with important changes for the new version
2. Bump the version in package.json
3. Run npm publish to publish to npm. You'll need to be authorized. This ought to run the build automatically.

Testing in an app

1. In this repo, run npm link to register it for overriding
2. In the app, run npm link @dataquiver/cognito-middleware to override the package from NPM with a symlink to this local copy
3. Run your app

If you make changes, you'll need to run npm run build in this repo and likely restart your app to pick them up.

When you're done, in the app, run npm unlink @dataquiver/cognito-middleware --no-save to remove the symlink and go back to using the NPM package. Use npm install then to redownload from the internet.
