Help with Node

[AlexGustafsson]

I could start offer some help with the NodeJS implementation in about a week from now. Is there any known implementation already or has anyone started to work on it?

[homakov]

No, no one is working on Node now, and it's great if you can help. I can contact you in a week (messenger?) and we will do a generic node.js integration and maybe some plugins for popular passport.js?

[andrewda]

I would also love to help out with a Node implementation!

Posted this on the Slack but I'll post it here too for visibility:

Here's a minimal Node.js SecureLogin module: https://github.com/andrewda/node-securelogin
And here's a Passport/Express module: https://github.com/andrewda/passport-securelogin

I would love some help with these!

[AlexGustafsson]

Would you feel comfortable in posting issues regarding what you want done with some tag "help-needed" or the like?

[andrewda]

Sure, I'll look over and see what still needs to be done in a bit.

[homakov]

I wonder what's best way to implement cred rotation endpoint /securelogin? Should it be copy pasted by every app or just baked in npm module? If it's baked in then we need a common way to interact with user db to find user by pubkey and then replace it. Is there some common interface/ORM?

[andrewda]

I made something in passport-securelogin that handles mostly everything for the /securelogin endpoint (see https://github.com/andrewda/passport-securelogin#profile-change). I eventually want it to be more baked in so developers don't have to worry about it as much.

[andrewda]

For example, I eventually want to refactor the entire module to look something like this:

const sl = new SecureLogin({
  origins: ['localhost:3001', 'http://c.dev'],
  changeCredentials: (err, newUser, oldPublicKey) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
    } else {
      // do database stuff to update the user
    }
  }
});

// now you can access all SecureLogin methods through `sl`

passport.use(new sl.Strategy({ domains: 'http://c.dev:3001' }));

app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('securelogin', { session: true }),
  (req, res) => res.sendStatus(200));

app.post('/sendmoney', sl.ScopeMiddleware({ domains: 'http://c.dev:3001' }),
  (req, res) => {
    console.log(`${req.user.authkeys.public} -> $${req.securelogin.scope.amount} -> ${req.securelogin.scope.address}`);
    res.json(req.securelogin.scope);
  });
