passport-local-marpat

passport-local-marpat is a marpat plugin that simplifies building username and password login with Passport.

Installation

npm install --save passport-local-marpat

passport-local-marpat does not require passport or passport-local dependencies directly but expects you to have these dependencies installed.

$ npm i --save passport passport-local passport-local-marpat

Usage

Model passport-local-marpat

First you need to instantiate from passport-local-marpat into your own User model

const modelBuilder = require('passport-local-marpat');
const Account = modelBuilder();

module.exports = Account;

You're free to define your User how you like by extending Account class. passport-local-marpat will add custom fields to store username and hashed password.

Additionally passport-local-marpat adds some methods to your Schema. See the API Documentation section for more details.

Configure Passport/Passport-Local

You should configure Passport/Passport-Local as described in the Passport Guide.

passport-local-marpat supports this setup by implementing a LocalStrategy and serialize/deserialize functions.

To setup passport-local-marpat use this code

// requires the model built by passport-local-marpat or one extended from it
var User = require('./models/User');

// use static serialize and deserialize of model for passport session support
passport.serializeUser(User.serialize);
passport.deserializeUser(User.deserialize);

// use static authenticate method of model in LocalStrategy
passport.use(new LocalStrategy(User.authenticate));

Make sure that you have a marpat connected to mongodb or nedb and you're done.

Options

passport-local-marpat additional options can be passed to model builder to configure process.

//  models/User.js
const Account = modelBuilder(options);

options is object. Each field is optional. Here are defaults for each field.

Main Options

• primaryKey: represents field name for primary key. Default is uid
• usernameKey: represents field name for username. Default is username
• passwordKey: represents field name for pass. Default is passhash
• primaryKeyGen: sync function which is used to generate random primary key. Must take 2 args:
• • [length]: length of generated key. Default is 64
• • [encoding]: encoding of generated key. Default is hex
• hashGen: async function which is used to hash password.
• • <data>: data to be hashed
• • [algorithm]: algorithm used for hashing. Default is whirlpool
• • [encoding]: encoding of resulting hash. Default is hex
• E_USER_NOT_FOUND, E_INVALID_PASS: error text accordingly

Examples

For complete example of implementing a registration and authentication see here.

API Documentation

Instance methods

savehash(password)

set a user's password. must be called at least once upon creation of new user, if using Account.create()

checkHash(password)

directly check whether passed password is correct or not

dump()

get clean user object (JSON without passhash and methods)

Static methods

Static methods are exposed on the schema. For example to use register function use

var User = require('./models/User');
await User.register(opts);

• authenticate (username, passhash, done): function that is used in Passport's LocalStrategy
• serialize (user, done): function that is used by Passport to serialize users into the session
• deserialize (primaryKey, done): function that is used by Passport to deserialize users from the session
• Promise register (user || username, password): method to register a new user instance with a given password. Checks if username is unique.
• Promise resetPassword (current, new): method that checks the current password against the hash and if successful - creates and saves a hash using the new password.
