Township Auth Client Module

Client library to login, register, and change passwords for users using township auth server(s).

Features

• Login information is persisted to a configuration file.

Usage

var TownshipClient = require('township-client')
var client = TownshipClient({
  server: 'https://api.township.site' // Set default server on init
  config: {
    filename: '.townshiprc' 
    // config file stored in user homedir. 
    // uses localstorage if in browser
  }
})

client.register({
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'Iheartcoffee'

  if (err) return console.error('Register error', err)
  console.log('Registered successfully with ', body.key, body.token)

API

var township = Township(opts)

Options include:

opts = {
  server: 'https://api.township.com',// Township API server
  config: {
    filename: '.townshiprc', // configuration filename (stored in os homedir)
    filepath: '~/.townshiprc' // specify a full config file path 
  },
  routes: { // routes for ALL township servers used by client
    register: '/register',
    login: '/login',
    updatePassword: '/updatepassword'
  }
}

opts.server can be set once on initialization or during each request. The client can handle multiple servers. opts.server can be passed with each request if the request should go to a different server than the client was initialized with.
