rnsync_key_generator

About

rnsync_key_generator handles the creation of database and generation of credentials as recommended in the Cloudant Sync doc. This package was made to be used with RNSync, but can of course be used however you wish.

Installation

Install with npm

npm install --save rnsync_key_generator

Usage

The database name must start with a character and only lowercase characters (a-z), digits (0-9), and any of the characters _, $, (, ), +, -, and / are allowed.

Router

let express = require('express');
let rnsync_key_generator = require('rnsync_key_generator');

// You can retrieve your cloudant_url by accessing the Cloudant Service Credentials from your Bluemix.net dashboard
rnsync_key_generator.init("https://user:[email protected]");

let app = express();
app.use('/genkey', rnsync_key_generator.router);

The router accepts a GET request and expects there to be a query parameter 'dbname'.

http://server.com/genkey?dbname=mydbname

response looks like:

 {
 "password": "YPNCaIX1sJRX5upaL3eqvTfi",
 "ok": true,
 "key": "blentfortedsionstrindigl"
 }

Genkey

Simply call rnsync_key_generator.genkey('dbname') to get the db credentials

rnsync_key_generator.init("https://user:[email protected]");

router.get( '/genkey', function ( req, res, next )
{
    let userId = req.user.sub;

    rnsync_key_generator.genkey('u' + userId)
     .then( (dbCredentials) =>
     {
         res.status( 200 ).json( { dbCredentials } )
     })
     .catch( (error) => {
         res.status( 500 ).json( { error } )
     })
}
