Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
Important! This library relies on alternative session API.
A very simple usage:
// Mock users database
var USERS = {
'joe': {
id: 'joe',
name: 'Joe Bloggs'
}
};
var AUTH = {
getUserId: function(user) {
return user.id;
},
findUserById: function(id, cb) {
cb(null, USERS[id]);
}
};
// App middleware
app.use(require('alt-session')({ ... }));
app.use(require('alt-auth')(AUTH);
app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
if (!req.principal) {
req.rememberLocation();
res.redirect('/login');
} else res.send('Hi, ' + req.principal.name);
});
app.get('/login', function(req, res, next) {
res.send('Authenticate, please.');
});
app.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {
AUTH.findUserById(req.getString('user'), function(err, user) {
if (err) return next(err);
if (!user) return res.sendStatus(404);
// Check password, etc.
req.login(user, function(err) {
if (err) return next(err);
res.redirect(req.lastLocation());
});
});
});
