login-token

Automatically log in a user if a valid, unexpired, single-use authToken is present in the URL.

Use at your own risk. We use it for logging in via email and SMS notifications.

Usage

Add package

$ meteor add dispatch:login-token

Generate a token for a user (server-only)

const token = LoginToken.createTokenForUser(userId);

Log in...

Go to http://myapp.mydomain.com/some/route?authToken=<token>

Events/callbacks

The LoginToken object emits events both on the client and server. To listen to events, just use LoginToken.on('<event name>', callback);

The events are:

  • errorServer
  • errorClient
  • loggedInServer
  • loggedInClient

The "error" callbacks receive the error as the only argument, and the "loggedIn" callbacks receive the userId` as the only argument.


### Change expiration
Set the token expiration by running `LoginToken.setExpiration(val)`. It is in **milliseconds**. It default to one hour (60 * 60 * 1000).
