just-login-session-state

An optional module that handles session state for just-login.

example

var Core = require('just-login-core')
var SessionState = require('just-login-session-state')
var Level = require('level-mem')
var tokenDb = new Level()
var sessionDb = new Level()
 
var core = Core(tokenDb)
var sessionState = SessionState(core, sessionDb)

api

var SessionState = require('just-login-session-state')

var sessionState = SessionState(core, db, [options])

• core is an instance of a just-login-core.
• db is expecting a levelup database.
• options is an optional object:
  • unauthenticateAfterMs is a number in milliseconds of a session's period of inactivity before they are unauthenticated. (Calling authenticate()/isAuthenticated() counts as activity.) Defaults to 1 week.
  • deleteSessionAfterMs is a number in milliseconds of a session's period of inactivity before the session is deleted. If the user does not call isAuthenticated() within that time period, their session will be deleted. Defaults to 1 week.
  • checkIntervalMs is a number in milliseconds of the session's timeout's check interval. (See expireUnusedKeys({checkIntervalMs}).) Defaults to 10 seconds.
• Returns sessionState.

sessionState.createSession(cb)

Creates a new (unauthenticated) session.

• cb is a function that has the following arguments:
  • err is null or an Error object.
  • sessionId is a string of the new session id.

sessionState.createSession(function(err, sessionId) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err)
    } else {
        console.log('session created, but you\'re not logged in')
    }
})

sessionState.sessionExists(sessionId, cb)

• sessionId is a string of the session id for which to check the existence.
• cb is a function that has the following arguments:
  • err is null or an Error object.
  • date is null if the session does not exist, otherwise it is a date object.

sessionState.sessionExists('64416534-3199-11e5-96bb-ba029ef54746', function(err, date) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err)
    } else if (date) {
        console.log('The session exists, and was created at ' + new Date(date))
    } else {
        console.log('The session does not exist')
    }
})

sessionState.deleteSession(sessionId, [cb])

• sessionId is a string of the session id to delete.
• cb is an optional function that has the following argument:
  • err is null or an Error object.

sessionState.deleteSession('64416534-3199-11e5-96bb-ba029ef54746', function(err) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err)
    } else {
        console.log('Session was deleted')
    }
})

sessionState.isAuthenticated(sessionId, cb)

Checks if a user is authenticated. (Logged in.)

• sessionId is a string of the session id in question.
• cb is a function with the following arguments:
  • err is null or an Error object.
  • contactAddress is null is the user is not authenticated, otherwise it is a string of their contact address.

sessionState.isAuthenticated('64416534-3199-11e5-96bb-ba029ef54746', function(err, contactAddress) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err)
    } else if (contactAddress) {
        console.log('You are logged in')
    } else {
        console.log('You are not logged in')
    }
})

sessionState.unauthenticate(sessionId, [cb])

Sets the session id to be unauthenticated.

• sessionId is a string of the session id that is trying to get authenticated.
• cb is an optional function with the following argument:
  • err is null or an Error object.

sessionState.unauthenticate('64416534-3199-11e5-96bb-ba029ef54746', function(err) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err)
    } else {
        console.log('You have been logged out')
