plug-auth

JavaScript libraries for third-party authentication with plug.dj.

On the client

plug-auth works by verifying that a user has access to the account they claim to be.

plug-auth gives the user a unique token
the user changes their profile blurb (bio) to include the token value
plug-auth checks that the user's blurb includes the token value
plug-auth grants access and generates a JSON Web Token that can be used to verify the user's identity again later
the user changes their blurb back

The client and server packages are both maintained in a single repo (this one). You can build them both by:

npm run build

plug-auth uses ava for tests and standard for linting.

To run tests:

npm run ava

To lint:

npm run lint

To do both:

npm test
