sequelize-tokenify

Add unique tokens to sequelize models.

Installation

npm install sequelize-tokenify

Usage

var SequelizeTokenify = require('sequelize-tokenify');

module.exports = function(sequelize, Sequelize) {

    var User = sequelize.define('User', {
        id: {
            type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
            primaryKey: true,
            autoIncrement: true
        },
        email: {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            unique: true
        },
        recovery_token: {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            unique: true
        }
    });

    SequelizeTokenify.tokenify(User, {
        field: 'recovery_token'
    });

    return User;
};

Options

tokenify method takes an options array as it's second parameter.

SequelizeTokenify.tokenify(User, {
    field: 'recovery_token'
});

Available options:

• field - Field name in the model to store token value. Default value: token.
• scope - Array of field names in the model that are used to limit the uniqueness token generation.
• length - Length of the token value. Default value: 10.
• charset - Character set for the token value. Default value: alphanumeric. Available values:
  • alphanumeric - [0-9a-zA-Z]
  • alphabetic - [a-zA-Z]
  • numeric - [0-9]
  • hex - [0-9a-f]

All options are optional.

Methods

sequelize-tokenify module creates several instance methods with names depend on the token field:

• generate[TokenField] - Generates a new token without saving the model.
• update[TokenField] - Generates a new token and saves the model.

For recovery_token field module will create these methods:

• generateRecoveryToken
• updateRecoveryToken

So you can use this module several times for the same model:

var SequelizeTokenify = require('sequelize-tokenify');

module.exports = function(sequelize, Sequelize) {

    var User = sequelize.define('User', {
        id: {
            type: Sequelize.INTEGER,
            primaryKey: true,
            autoIncrement: true
        },
        email: {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            unique: true
        },
        token: {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            unique: true
        },
        recovery_token: {
            type: Sequelize.STRING,
            unique: true
        }
    });

    // For token field
    SequelizeTokenify.tokenify(User);

    // For recovery_token field
    SequelizeTokenify.tokenify(User, {
        field: 'recovery_token'
    });

    return User;
};
