Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.4.5

Published

auth plugin for midichlorians supporting htpasswd format

Downloads

1

Readme

Installation

$ npm install midichlorians
$ npm install midichlorians-htpasswd

PS: Actually, this module is bundled with midichlorians, so you don't have to install it like this. But with other auth plugins you have to.

Config

Add to your config.yaml:

auth:
  htpasswd:
    file: ./htpasswd

    # Maximum amount of users allowed to register, defaults to "+inf".
    # You can set this to -1 to disable registration.
    #max_users: 1000

Password file format

Passwords are stored in htpasswd file, and it is designed to be compatible with Nginx.

We use standard password hashing in linux (same as in /etc/shadow, on most modern systems it's salted SHA-512), but you can use whatever your glibc supports.

You can manually add new user with this command (see different commands here):

$ echo "user:`mkpasswd --method=sha-512 password`" >> htpasswd

For plugin writers

It's called as:

require('midichlorians-htpasswd')(config, stuff)

Where:

  • config - module's own config
  • stuff - collection of different internal midichlorians objects
    • stuff.config - main config
    • stuff.logger - logger

This should export two functions:

  • adduser(user, password, cb)

    It should respond with:

    • cb(err) in case of an error (error will be returned to user)
    • cb(null, false) in case registration is disabled (next auth plugin will be executed)
    • cb(null, true) in case user registered successfully

    It's useful to set err.status property to set http status code (e.g. err.status = 403).

  • authenticate(user, password, cb)

    It should respond with:

    • cb(err) in case of a fatal error (error will be returned to user, keep those rare)
    • cb(null, false) in case user not authenticated (next auth plugin will be executed)
    • cb(null, [groups]) in case user is authenticated

    Groups is an array of all users/usergroups this user has access to. You should probably include username itself here.
