Custom UserFields

[yorickdevries]

Is it possible to specify the fields of a User manually? Or is a user only allowed the fields that are defined in the interface?

Hi @yorickdevries, are you using TypeScript or JavaScript? I am working on updating this library and am considering rewriting everything using generics so users of this library can decide what fields the User should have.

Currently the MockStrategy type doesn't assume anything about the user. However some of the other helper functions exported by this library do assume certain fields (ex: id).

I am using Typescript and there indeed the fields id, name, emails, provider are expected. What I do now is:

const strategy = new MockStrategy({
  name: "mock",
  // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
  user: user as any,
});
passport.use(strategy);

But if you could make an update using generics, that would certainly be a nice addition!
