SynapNestUsersModule

Authentication, authorization and user/account management built with @nestjs. This module takes care of session storage/management using mongo-store and connect-session (Express/MongoDb), account login/logout, password resets and registration.

Usage:

You'll need to apply some configuration options when bootstrapping your server:

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { CoreModule } from './core/core.module';
import { expressConfig } from '@synap/nest-users-module';

async function bootstrap()
{
	const app = await NestFactory.create(CoreModule);

	// This allows the SynapNestUsersModule to set up passport middleware and session persistence
	expressConfig(app, {
		// Without passing corsOpts, you won't be able to make use of this module's API
		corsOpts: { origin: [/localhost/], credentials: true },
		dbConnectionUrl: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/my-db'
	});

	app.listen(9000);
}

bootstrap().catch(e => Logger.log(
	`Error bootstrapping app: ${e.stack || e.message || e}`,
	'Bootstrap')
);

See auth.interfaces for further available options the expressConfig method accepts.

Now you can use the module in your application:

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { SynapNestUsersModule } from '@synap/nest-users-module';

@Module({
	imports: [SynapNestUsersModule.forRoot()]
})
export class CoreModule
{
}

This module provides a base user schema that looks like this:

import * as moment from 'moment';

export const BaseSchema = {
	createdAt: { type: Date, required: true, default: moment(new Date(Date.now())).toDate() },
	deleted: { type: Boolean, required: true, default: false },
	email: { type: String, required: true, index: { unique: true } },
	enabled: { type: Boolean, required: true, default: true },
	firstName: { type: String, required: true },
	lastLoggedIn: { type: Date, required: false },
	lastName: { type: String, required: true },
	password: { type: String, required: true },
	registrationToken: { type: String, required: false },
	resetPasswordToken: { type: String, required: false },
	roles: { type: [String], required: true, default: ['user'] },
	tokenExpires: { type: Date, required: false },
	updatedAt: { type: Date, required: true, default: moment(new Date(Date.now())).toDate() }
};

If you don't need any other properties on your users, then you can skip ahead. If you do require additional properties, you can pass them in the forRoot method when importing the module:

SynapNestUsersModule.forRoot({
	extraSchemaFields: { 
		img: { type: String, required: true, default: 'assets/images/stock-user.png' },
		displayName: { type: String, required: true, default: function()
		{
			if (!(this.firstName && this.lastName))
				return 'awesome.user';

			return `${this.firstName.toLowerCase()}.${this.lastName.toLowerCase()}`;
		}}
	}
})
