This repo is a bit out of date

I do plan to update it and add a few features I would like but have not found the time. I still don't think it is a bad pattern or starting point to follow but needs to be updated

node-rethinkdb-auth-starter

This is a simple starter API using NodeJS, Express, and RethinkDB including token authentication.

This is still a work in progress. I wanted to create something that would allow me to get a node api off the ground quickly and thought it may be usefull for someone else.

I plan to add some additional, common policies for restricting access to API endpoints

Feel free to use it to build your api's let me know if there is anything else I can add that would be usefull and common for many API's

Install dependencies :

$ npm install

Start up rethinkdb and the server (works with rethinkdb 2.3.4):

$ rethinkdb
$ node server.js

To run tests :

$ mocha

API endpoints at localhost:8000/api/ :

Method Path Parameters Protected
POST /user username : password none Create a User and returns token
GET /users - - - none Returns List of User Objects
GET /user/:id - - - none Returns the user with the given ID
DEL /user/:id - - - isAuthorized, isCurrentUser Deletes a user with the given ID
POST /login username : password none Log In Route : Returns logged in user and token

For all isCurrentUser protected routes, the target the route's target user must be the user accessing that endpoint.

For all isAuthorized protected routes, be sure to include an Authorization header with the value Bearer [YOUR-TOKEN]
