Node.js equivalent for Devise gem

[Ian Petzer]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a Node.js library equivalent to the Devise gem?

Basically I'm looking for an NPM module that would supply:

Authorisation of Users

Roles based Authentication for their actions

Built in support for Password resets

I know the Node community is big on rolling your own stuff but these are pretty standard requirements for any project.  

I've looked at passport.js which offers Authentication and Authorisation hooks.. But it would be nice to have some of the other basics built in.

Good question. Quite like rolling my own but have used EveryAuth (https://github.com/bnoguchi/everyauth) in the past with some success. It includes a few callbacks so you can do actions based on the actions.

Also see https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules#wiki-middleware if anything strikes your fancy ?

But anyone know something better ?

without a doubt passportjs is the one true authentication layer for node.js

there is nothing else that is nearly as simple and beautifully abstracted.

node modules dont work that way.

you will get maybe 1 out of those in a module.

everything else would be out of scope.

passport.js is the best. really.

Roles based Authentication for their actions

https://github.com/OptimalBits/node_acl

seems to be the most widely used.

Built in support for Password resets

nothing comes to mind, as this is reeeeaalll application specific.

this assumes users even have passwords, or email addresses, and

aren't authenticated with any of the hundreds of identity providers.

personally, i will do everything humanly possible to avoid having

to ever send email to anyone from one of my applications.

my recommendation is to find a way to make it not your problem =)
