Store profile information in couchdb
Installation
npm install couch-profileUsage
To use the module you will first need to setup a cradle connection. A few views are needed in your database to use couch profiles. Look in the <project_roo>/docs/ folder to see the views needed. You can easily create these view using the couchdb-update-views
API
Look at index.js to see the full public api available. The following functions are available for use
- findProfile
- getOrCreateProfile
- checkPassword
- hashPassword
Instatiate Views
npm install -g couchdb-update-views
couchdb-update-views --config <path/to/config.json> --docsDir <couch-profile_project_root>/docsGet Or Create Profile
This will automatically create a new profile if needed. Use findProfile if you just want to lookup a profile without creating one
var couchProfile = require('couch-profile')
var db = <cradle database connection>
var profileData = {
db: db,
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'barPass' // this will be salted and hashed before storage
}
couchProfile.getOrCreateProfile(profileData, function(err, profile) {
if (err) {
inspect(err, 'error getting profile')
return
}
inspect(profile, 'got couch profile')
})Find Profile
Lookup a profile but don't create new ones
var couchProfile = require('couch-profile')
var db = <cradle database connection>
var profileData = {
db: db,
email: '[email protected]'
}
couchProfile.getProfile(profileData, function(err, profile) {
if (err) {
inspect(err, 'error getting profile')
return
}
inspect(profile, 'got couch profile')
})Passwords
If you create a profile with a password field, it will be salted and hashed and stored in a hash field. The actual password value is not stored. Hashing is done with the native nodejs bcrypt implementation https://github.com/shaneGirish/bcrypt-nodejs
var bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs')
var couchProfile = require('couch-profile')
var password = 'fooBarPass'
couchProfile.hashPassword(profileData, function(err, profile) {
if (err) {
inspect(err, 'error hashing password')
return
}
inspect(password, 'original raw password')
inspect(reply, 'hashed password')
bcrypt.compare(password, hash, function (err, reply) {
if (err) {
inspect(err, 'erorr checking if hashed password matches')
return
}
inspect(reply, 'does hash check out? ')
})
})
