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-viewscouchdb-update-views --config <path/to/config.json> --docsDir <couch-profile_project_root>/docs
Get 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 = var db = <cradle database connection>var profileData = db: db email: 'foo@example.com' password: 'barPass' // this will be salted and hashed before storagecouchProfile
Find Profile
Lookup a profile but don't create new ones
var couchProfile = var db = <cradle database connection>var profileData = db: db email: 'foo@example.com'couchProfile
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 = var couchProfile = var password = 'fooBarPass'couchProfile
