Authenticare

A JWT helper library for full-stack Node apps

You can find an example fullstack application in the example folder.

You can find the docs for the most important functions exported for both client-side and server-side use in the docs folder.

Version 0.4.9

• Improved the error message coming from the client register and signIn functions
• Example: added an error message to the Register and SignIn pages to show the improved error message
• Docs: updated docs for register and signIn to illustrate how to use the error message

Version 0.4.8

• Replaced libsodium-wrappers-sumo with libsodium
• Removed nock as a devDependency
• Updated all possible dependencies
• Moved tests to same folder as code under test
• Running tests require NodeJS version 14 or greater (due to use of the optional chaining operator ?)
• Removed testing folder - I might bring it back later if I can get happy with it
• Improved lint config and applied fixes throughout codebase (thanks @joshuavial)
• Example: require username and password on sign-in and register forms
• A LOT of code refactorings (mostly aesthetics)

Version 0.4.7

• Updated dependencies
• Added the ability to configure token expiration (thank you @nisidazza)
• Removed the tutorial (too much to maintain) the example should suffice
• Example: moved BASE_API_URL environment variable into a config file
• Example: refactored tests

Version 0.4.6

• Updated dependencies to fix known security vulnerabilities

Non-breaking changes

• client/getAuthorizationHeader was added (getEncodedToken is still available, but less relevant now)
• A tutorial was added (but it still needs more work)

Breaking changes

• client/getAuthToken was function renamed to getDecodedToken to match getEncodedToken
• The createUser function passed to server/applyAuthRoutes now takes a single user object parameter instead of username and password parameters
