yoAuth

An easy to use authentication system that can easily be built in to your Express + HBS web apps. Currently only supports local authentication, however will hopefully support Google/Apple/Facebook/etc auth in the future.

npm i --save yoauth

Client

Creating a client

• Import the Client constructor from yoauth, then create an instance of it and pass in an object for the client options.

• // server.js
  const { Client } = require('yoauth');
  const client = new Client(require('./options.js').options); // Options = {...}
  
  const express = require('express');
  const app = express();
  
  client.configureServer(app);
  
  app.get('/', client.ensureAuth, (req, res) => {
      res.render('dashboard', {user: req.user});
  });
  
  app.listen(3000);
