Hooks

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• app (new methods):
  • SESSION_TOKEN_KEY deprecated in favour of SESSION_SECRET
  • AUTH_TOKEN_KEY deprecated in favour of AUTH_TOKEN_SECRET
  • PASSWORD_BLACK_LIST deprecated in favour of DISALLOWED_PASSWORDS
• app (src/index.js):

  • express-user-manager.getDbDriver() has been removed. Calls to it will error.

  • express-user-manager.getDbAdapter(adapter) no longer returns a constructor, instead it returns an object.
    This means the following no longer works:

    const DataStore = userManager.getDbAdapter(adapter);
    const store = new DataStore(); // Error: DataStore is not a constructor
    
    userManager.set('store', store);
    

    Do this instead: const store = userManager.getDbAdapter(adapter);

    This still performs all the previous initialization steps, but internally.

✨ Features

• app (src/index.js): simplify the API setup (e49c432)
  • Run initialization and setup tasks, including connecting to the DB and listening for connections, in one call via await userManager.init(app, configObject);
• app (new methods): add new configuration and initialization methods: userManager.config(), userManager.init() (8e306ef)
  • specify configuration properties via userManager.config(configOptions);
  • database connection parameters can now be specified in 3 ways:
    • via userManager.config()
    • via environment variables (which can be set using a .env file at the root of your project),
    • calling userManager.getDbAdapter(adapter).connect(connectionOptions); and passing in the connection options
• routing: implement user data update route (f487bf0)
• hooks: define custom middlewares for hooking into the request-response cycle
  • register request (445f32a) and response (a919078) hooks
  • unregister hooks (2590cc2)
