Accounts-Phone

Accounts-Phone is a Meteor package that let you authenticate by phone number. The package use SMS code verification to verify the user account. The package is based and inspired by Meteor Accounts-Password package.

Installation

In a Meteor app directory, enter:

$ meteor add okland:accounts-phone

Via Bower:

$ bower install accounts-phone

Add to your index.html

<script src="bower_components/accounts-base-client-side/dist/accounts-base-client-side.bundle.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/accounts-phone/dist/accounts-phone.bundle.min.js"></script>

Examples

Let's say you want to register new user and verify him using his phone number

Verify phone number - Create user if not exists

var userPhone = '+972545999999';
// Request for sms phone verification -- please note before receiving SMS you should Follow the SMS Integration tutorial below
Accounts.requestPhoneVerification(userPhone, function(){});
//Debug:  Verify the user phone isn't confirmed it.
console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());

// After receiving SMS let user enter his code and verify account by sending it to the server
var verificationCode = 'CodeRecivedBySMS';

Accounts.verifyPhone(userPhone, verificationCode, function(){});
//Debug:  Verify the user phone is confirmed.
console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());

SMS Integration

If you are using twilio : you can just put your twilio credentials on server.

SMS.twilio = {FROM: 'XXXXXXXXXXXX', ACCOUNT_SID: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', AUTH_TOKEN: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'};

otherwise you can just override the function

 SMS.send = function (options) {};

Where the parameter options is an object containing : * @param options * @param options.from {String} - The sending SMS number * @param options.to {String} - The receiver SMS number * @param options.body {String} - The content of the SMS

Moreover to control the Sending number and the message content you can override the phone Template

  SMS.phoneTemplates = {
    from: '+9729999999',
    text: function (user, code) {
        return 'Welcome your invitation code is: ' + code;
    }
  };

• Note: it can only be done on server

Simple API

 /**
  * @summary Request a new verification code. create user if not exist
  * @locus Client
  * @param {String} phone -  The phone we send the verification code to.
  * @param {Function} [callback] Optional callback. Called with no arguments on success, or with a single `Error` argument on failure.
  */
 Accounts.requestPhoneVerification = function (phone, callback)  {  };

 /**
  * @summary Marks the user's phone as verified. Optional change passwords, Logs the user in afterwards..
  * @locus Client
  * @param {String} phone - The phone number we want to verify.
  * @param {String} code - The code retrieved in the SMS.
  * @param {Function} [callback] Optional callback. Called with no arguments on success, or with a single `Error` argument on failure.
  */
 Accounts.verifyPhone = function (phone, code, callback) {...};


 /**
  * Returns whether the current user phone is verified
  * @returns {boolean} Whether the user phone is verified
  */
 Accounts.isPhoneVerified = function () {  };

Settings - you can control

• verificationCodeLength : The length of the verification code
• verificationMaxRetries : The number of SMS verification tries before verification temporary lock
• verificationRetriesWaitTime : The verification lock time after max retries
• verificationWaitTime : The verification lock time if between two retries
• sendPhoneVerificationCodeOnCreation : Whether to send phone number verification on user creation
• forbidClientAccountCreation: Don't let client create user on server
• phoneVerificationMasterCode: Optional master code if exists let user verify account by entering this code for example '1234'
• adminPhoneNumbers: Optional array of admin phone numbers - don't need to be valid phone numbers for example ['+972123456789', '+972987654321']

In order to change those settings just override the property under :

Accounts._options

For example to change the verificationMaxRetries to 3 all we need to do is:

Accounts._options.verificationMaxRetries = 3;

Creating new user

  // Create a user.

  var options = {phone:'+972545999999'};
  // You can also create user with password
  options.password = 'VeryHardPassword';


  Accounts.createUserWithPhone(options, function (){});
  // Debug: Verify the user phone isn't confirmed it.
  console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());

 var userPhone = '+972545999999';
 // Request for sms phone verification -- please note before receiving SMS you should Follow the SMS Integration tutorial below
 Accounts.requestPhoneVerification(userPhone, function(){});
 //Debug:  Verify the user phone isn't confirmed it.
 console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());

 // After receiving SMS let user enter his code and verify account by sending it to the server
 var verificationCode = 'CodeRecivedBySMS';
 var newPassword = null;
 // You can keep your old password by sending null in the password field
 Accounts.verifyPhone(userPhone, verificationCode, function(){});
 //Debug:  Verify the user phone is confirmed.
 console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());

Login existing user - Requires creating user with password

 var userPhone = '+972545999999';
 var password = 'VerySecure';
 var callback = function() {};
 Accounts.createUserWithPhone({phone:userPhone, password:password}, function (){});

 Meteor.loginWithPhoneAndPassword({phone:userPhone}, password, callback);
