express-user-management

Package for adding user management and JWT authentication to express projects.

Features:

• Sqlite or postgresql bindings
• methods for creating users, confirming users, changing known and unknown passwords, email confirmations
• role-based authorization

Tests

Tests are run via `npm test`

Testing involves running a test express app, as this package is created fo express integration. ./test/test-api/api.js is the testing api, and can be used as a model for integration into an express app.

Running tests for the package can be done for sqlite or postgresql bindings.

• The test will use the 'app-config.json' file, so set that up for the bindings you are testing.
• both bindings start with a fresh set of tables
• sqlite destroys the entire db and builds fresh
• postgresql drops user and role tables and builds them fresh
• postgresql config requires more details about the tabular structure with the idea that sqlite will be used as a stand-alone user/auth solution, while postgresql will be part of an existing or project db, and the table structure may need to be different
• additional test-config.json contains specific values for testing users, so you can send those to a specific email address

TODO: configure sqlite db to be configurable as is postgresql. This would involve modifying 'db-test-prep-sqlite.js' and 'user-management-crud-sqlite.js' to build schema and queries from config values.
