mock-authentication-api

Mock Authentication API is a utility module which provides straight-forward way to mocking authentication in your app. User needs to provide application's user store and use relevant APIs to manage authentication related operations

Installation

To install mock-authentication-api, use npm:

npm install mock-authentication-api

Usage

import * as AuthenticationApi from 'mock-authentication-api';

// setting configurations (netWorkLatency,userStore)
AuthenticationApi.configure(netWorkLatency,userStore);

// authenticating user
AuthenticationApi.authenticate(username,password);
// >> a promise

Example

import * as AuthenticationApi from 'mock-authentication-api';

const netWorkLatency = 1000;
const userStore = [
    {id:1,username:'User1',password:'pass1'},
    {id:2,username:'User2',password:'pass2'}
];

AuthenticationApi.configure(netWorkLatency,userStore);

// authenticating user
AuthenticationApi.authenticate('User1','pass1').then(user => {
    // no password field on user response
    console.log(`${user.username} logged in`)
}).catch(err => {
    console.log(err);//Invalid User Credentials
});

API

mock-authentication-api.

• configure(netWorkLatency, userStore) - setting authentication configs
  • netWorkLatency - used to simulate network latency {Number} {milliseconds}[REQUIRED]
  • userStore - user details store which is going to use for authentication {Objects} {username and password are mandatory fields}[REQUIRED]
• authenticate(username, password) - authenticate the user according to provided username and password. Returns a promise.
  • username - username of the user who is trying to authenticated.[REQUIRED]
  • password - password of the user who is trying to authenticated.[REQUIRED]
  • Returns authenticated user for successfull authentication
  • Returns Invalid User Credentials for unsuccessfull authentication
• getUserStore() - getting user store
• getNetworkLatency() - getting network latency
