• Fix missing test coverage
• General linting
• Update travis node versions

[coveralls]

Coverage remained the same at 100.0% when pulling 74a9b27 on maintenance-04-2020 into cccdbd8 on master.

Note that this work doesn't include any sort of integration yet i.e. I didn't use this updated version in a project, confirming it still works as expected. Do we have a preferred way of running such a test?

[devinivy]

I think the primary way to do that is to build locally then npm link it into a project.

You could also publish a beta then allow many folks to pull it into their project to test prior to a "latest" release (in npm tag speak). This looks great, by the way—thanks!

🙏 thanks for checking this out!
and cool, dig both of those suggestions, I'll try to find time soon to try one/both out.

Probably should have asked this at the beginning, before doing this work 🤡 : What's the future of strange-auth?
I took a brief look at using the strangeluv user recipe as a base for an integration environment here, but of course realized it doesn't use strange-auth. Though it seems the gap between here and there is strange-middle-end compatibility; so more specifically, is the next step for strange-auth something like refactoring it to work more closely with strange-middle-end as a sort of plugin?

Clearly I'm way out of touch here; sorry for the flail. Thanks for all the help!

[devinivy]

Oh no way, I think you are v much in touch 😏. I think strange-auth will look pretty different in the future. Half of strange-auth is allowing one to author an async action given just an async function: now that is all taken care of generically by strange-middle-end. I think you're dead on that strange-auth will look like a plugin, which in our case is a mod-creator (i.e. a function returning a strange-middle-end mod).

thanks, bub! that all makes sense. so cool to think of authoring various state mgmt features as mod-creators, I can feel the time and boilerplate savings. mmm

Closing since effectively blocked till we sort out strange-auth's next direction
