usage

var http = require('http')
var Router = require('routes-router')
var mount = require('routes-router-mount')
var level    = require('level-test')()
var Gandalf = require('gandalf')
var ecstatic = require('ecstatic')
var db = level('gandalf-examples--simple', {encoding: 'json'})

var gandalf = Gandalf(db, {
  providers:{
    facebook:{
      id:process.env.FACEBOOK_ID,
      secret:process.env.FACEBOOK_SECRET
    },
    twitter:{
      id:process.env.TWITTER_ID,
      secret:process.env.TWITTER_SECRET
    }
  }
})

var router = mount(Router())

// mount the OAuth login handlers
router.mount('/auth', gandalf.handler())

// get the current session data
router.addRoute('/status', {
	// add session handler to this method
	'GET':gandalf.session(function(req, res){
		req.session.get('userid', function(err, id){

			// load the user from the userid in the session
			gandalf.loadUser(id, function(err, user){
				res.end(JSON.stringify(user))	
			})
		})
	})
})

// only logged in people can see this route
router.addRoute('/private', gandalf.protect())

// these are served without hitting the session
router.addRoute('/*', ecstatic(__dirname + '/www'))

var server = http.createServer(router)

server.listen(80, function(){
  console.log('server listening');
})

api

var gandalf = Gandalf(db, options)

create a new authentication handler by passing in an existing leveldb - this can also be a sub-level

Pass a providers config to activate external OAUTH providers:

var gandalf = Gandalf(db, {
  providers:{
    facebook:{
      id:process.env.FACEBOOK_ID,
      secret:process.env.FACEBOOK_SECRET
    },
    twitter:{
      id:process.env.TWITTER_ID,
      secret:process.env.TWITTER_SECRET
    }
  }
})

The supported types are:

• google
• facebook
• github
• dropbox
• twitter

Password mode (/register and /login) are activated automatically.

One user can connect multiple external providers and link them to the same user id.

gandalf.session()

Return a function that will create a session property of the request:

var session = gandalf.session()

router.addRoute('/api', function(req, res){
	session(req, res, function(){

		// we now have a session for the request
		req.session.get('userid', function(err, userid){

		})
	})
})

You can also pass a function to gandalf.session and it will be wrapped:

router.addRoute('/api', gandalf.session(function(req, res){
	//req.session is populated
}))

gandalf.handler()

Mount the authentication handler onto an endpoint of your application (for example on /auth).

You can then link to /auth/github to perform a github login or POST to /auth/register to register new accounts.

router.addRoute('/api', gandalf.handler())

The following are the routes that are mounted:

GET /PROVIDER

e.g. /google - this triggers the OAuth login loop for a provider

POST /register

post username and password and other fields to register a new user

{
	"username":"bob",
	"password":"123",
	"email":"[email protected]",
	"likes":"porridge"
}

POST /login

post username and password fields to login using the password method

{
	"username":"bob",
	"password":"123"
}

POST /claim

post a username to use for a connected user - use this when a user connects using an external service but you still need a username (as opposed to just an id)

{
	"username":"bob"
}

GET /logout

clear the session and redirect to '/'

GET /check?username=

check if the given username exists

GET /status

return a JSON representation of the current session - this includes OAuth tokens

gandalf.protect(function(req, appid, userid, done){})

Return a 403 error if the user is not logged in:

router.addRoute('/private', gandalf.protect(function(req, res){
	// the user is logged in
	// we also have req.session and req.userid
}))

If you do not pass a function then there just needs to be a user for access to be granted.

gandalf.delete(id, function(){})

Delete a user and all their details

gandalf.disconnect(id, provider, function(){})

Remove the connection details for 'provider' in the given user
