Express Authenticate

User Session Authentication for your Express Application

Installation

Works with Express 3.0.x

npm install git://github.com/RGBboy/express-authenticate.git

Usage

Justuse it after you have added session functionality to your application:

  var authenticate = require('express-authenticate'),
      express = require('express'),
      app = express();

  app.use(express.cookieParser('miyahamiyahimiyahemiyahoho'));
  app.use(express.session({ cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }}));

  app.use(authenticate(UserModel));

Requires

Middleware

The following middleware should be used by the application before the Authenticate Component:

• express.cookieParser
• express.session

Other

Express Authenticate requires a User Model to be passed in upon construction. The User Model needs to implement the following:

User.findByEmail(email, function (err, user) {})

The .findByEmail method takes an email string as an argument and a callback. The callback should respond with an error or the user.

Todo

• Write process helpers for other components to use for integration tests.
• Write example that uses SSL
• Write tests
