elogin

Elogin is a simple login system that allows you to not have to worry about the login system for your node.js app, and instead focus on the meat of it.

Example of creating a user (in express)

var elogin = require('elogin');
    
app.post('/api/user', function(req, res) {
    elogin.add(req.param('username'), req.param('password'), function(result) {
        res.send(result);
    })
});

On complete the request will return something along the lines of {status: 0, response: hcwool}.

Example of logging in a user (in express)

app.post('/api/user/login', function(req, res) {
    elogin.check(req.param('username'), req.param('password'), function(result) {
        if(result.status == 0) {
            req.session.user = result.response;
        }
        res.send(result);
    });
});

Now when you need to know if the user is logged in, simply check if req.session.user != null.

Config

Note: You do not need to change the config, but it is recommended you do so. Currently you can edit these values:

{
    url 		: 'Url of the mongo database',
    collection 	: 'The collection which the users are stored in',
    iterations 	: 'How many iterations the crypto process goes through',
    salt 		: 'The salt that is used in the crypto process',
}

To change the config all you have to do is make an object with the options you want to change in it, and then pass it through to elogin.config()

elogin.config({iterations: 7, salt: 'We_L0v3_Ic3-k4R3Am'})
