Another mongoose password hashing module.

Usage

'use strict';
 
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema   = mongoose.Schema;
 
var MySchema = new Schema({
  username: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    index: {
      unique: true
    }
  }
});
 
MySchema.plugin(require('mongoose-pass'));
 
MySchema.static('authenticate', function (username, password, cb) {
  // Promise version
  return User.findOne({username: username}).exec().then(function (user) {
    if (!user) { return false; }
    return user.authenticate(password);
  });
  // Callback version
  User.findOne({username: username}, function (err, user) {
    if (err) { return cb(err); }
    if (!user) { return cb(null, false); }
    user.authenticate(password, function (err, isMatch) {
      if (err) { return cb(err); }
      cb(null, isMatch);
    });
  });
});

To pass in options:

MySchema.plugin(require('mongoose-pass'), {
  passwordPath: 'password',
  authMethod: 'authenticate',
  saltWorkFactor: 10
});

Note in the example above that it added an authenticate() method. This method is an instance method. Once you have a model, you call this method passing in the tentative password as the first parameter. Now, you can either pass in a callback as the second parameter, or it returns a promise. See examples of both above.

Options

  • passwordPath (String) - The path to add the password property to. Default: 'password'
  • authMethod (String) - The name of the instance method that authenticates a user by password. Default 'authenticate'
  • saltWorkFactor (Number) - The salt work factor used to hash the password. Increasing this number increases the amount of time it takes to hash a password. This is to keep up with Moore's law. Default 10
