methods

var p = accountdown-parser(accountdown, opts)

Return a parser instance p given an accountdown instance a.

Set opts.validate as an instance of is-my-json-valid to define the schema that will be validated for each user instance.

Set an optional opts.format to define how client-side requests should be parsed.

Another optional, but useful, opts.updateLoginCreds function defines whether the client's input is updating the login creds, which will require deletion and re-creation of the account when it returns true. Otherwise, only the account's value will be updated.

p.create(req, res, callback)

req, res: Parses the req and res objects using the body's body/any module, along with a querystring, and creates an account

Internally, all accounts are created with the key generated from uuid, version 1.

callback(err, account) fires with any errors or an account containing the account values.

p.update(req, res, callback)

The same as p.create except the function opts.updateLoginCreds is checked to determine whether to delete and recreate the accounts (when opts.updateLoginCreds exists and returns true), otherwise the new accounts values are put into the new account.
