#cornorize A lightweight module for authentication

Getting Started

npm install cornorize --save

Overview

In your project file

var auth = require('cornorize');

Usage Examples

encrypt: Encrypt input and return cb(null, String resulting hash) or cb(Object err, null)

Parameters

• String password
• Function cb

   auth.encrypt('sOmePazzWo2d', function(err, data){
     var hash = '';
     if(err) console.error(err);
     else{
       hash = data;
     }
   }

authenticate: Compares usrObj to authObj and returns cb(null, true) if successful, otherwise returns cb(errorObject, null)

Parameters

• Object usrObj

{password: String,
[username: String,
email: String]}

• Object authObj

{passHash: String,
[username: String,
email: String]}

• Function cb

At a minimum the original password needs to be the value of usrObj.password and the original hash needs to be the value of authObj.passHash. Additionally if either Object contains a userName and or email key, then the corresponding Object must contain the same key/value pairs in order to pass authentication.

auth.authenticate({password: 'sOmePazzWo2d'}, {passHash: '$2a$10$iJ/oqCu/KOx9LiyYtFgcIukTj624RbPr1WKSHKU0/9lQelSK8sd4m'}, function(err, data){
  if(err){
    console.error(err);
  }
  else{
    console.log('Passed');
  }
}

makeToken: Takes a resource object, an expiration integer and a secret. Returns a token.

Parameters

• Object resourceObject
• Integer daysValid
• String secret

var payloadIn = {resourceList: ['/user/home/username'], accessLevel: ['admin']};
var token = auth.makeToken(payloadIn, 35, 'IShouldWalkLikeJesusWalked');

getTokenResource: Takes a token and a secret. Returns a failure object {error: error message} or a resource object {data: resourceObject}.

Parameters

• String token
• String secret

var payloadOut = auth.decodeToken(token, 'IShouldWalkLikeJesusWalked');

Testing

Due to milliseconds difference between expiration time set and expiration time retrieval from test, token test may appear to fail at milliseconds <> date change. This is a problem with test and not the token code. Running the test again after a minute should yield a proper result.

npm install;
npm test;
