Feathers v4 with feathers-authentication-management (pre-release)

A basic Feathers v4 application with Local Authentication and the pre-release version 4.0.0-pre.0 of the feathers-authentication-management (f-a-m) package for "sign up verification, forgotten password reset, and other capabilities for local authentication". In this project, f-a-m uses e-mails for communication with the users. Moreover, the app uses feathers-sequelize as a database adapter to MySQL.

This project contains a docker-compose.yaml to start a Docker network with

• the Feathers app,
• the MySQL database,
• PHPMyAdmin for database administration, and
• Mailhog as an email testing tool for local development.

Installation and Setup

Clone this repo and install the app's dependencies:

$ cd server
$ npm install

Run Docker-Compose to start all containers:

$ docker-compose up

Open another terminal and run the database migration to create the users database table:

$ docker-compose exec server npm run db:migrate

That's it. The Feathers app is running (see (http://localhost:3030/) and connected to a local MySQL database.

Run feathers-authentication-management Actions

The file curl-commands.sh contains examples how to call the API with the f-a-m service. Please refer to the new f-a-m documentation for more details regarding f-a-m.

For example, to register a new user just call:

$ curl 'http://localhost:3030/users/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "email": "[email protected]", "password": "secret" }'

Feathers will create the new user and the f-a-m service will create a verification token and send it in an e-mail.

You can see the new user in the database using PHPMyAdmin (http://localhost:8181/, user: root, password: test).

Open the e-mail with Mailhog (http://localhost:8025/) and copy the token from the e-mail body.

Now enter this token in the following command, which will call the API to verify the user:

$ curl 'http://localhost:3030/authManagement/' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{ "action": "verifySignupLong", "value": "[enter token from e-mail]" }'
