Lox is a tiny mongoose based authentication middleware for Express.

Lox is written in coffeescript

Installation

npm install lox

Usage

# Start by adding as Express middleware
mongoDb = 'mongodb://user:[email protected]:1234/whatever'
app = express.createServer()
# Make sure to add it after session middleware
app.use express.session(secret: "234asldkn2naodufnu4n")
app.use lox.middleware(mongoDb)

# Create a user
lox.create email, password, (err) ->
  # err != undefined if user could not be created

# Delete a user
lox.destroy email, (err, user) ->
  # user.lastWords()

# Get list of all users
lox.find (err, users) ->
  # do something with users array

# Get access to logged in user
app.get '/who', (req, res) ->
  res.send req.user or "No user logged in"

# Create session (login)
app.get '/login', (req, res, next) ->
  email = req.params.email
  password = req.params.password
  req.login email, password, (err, user) ->
    if user then res.send "logged in as #{user.email}"
    else res.send  "not logged in"

# Destroy session (logout)
app.get '/logout', (req, res, next) ->
  req.logout -> res.redirect '/'
