This is a user accounts library, supporting registration, login, logout, and profile manipulation.

Log in or register for an account.

The current user object is: undefined

To use this library, simple import it and make any user-specific modifications to the global user object. Those modifications will be persisted for that user. (Note that you should not modify the uname and pass properties unless you're sure you know what you're doing!).

To let users log in, log out, register, and modify their profiles, send them to /lib-user/login, /lib-user/logout, /lib-user/register, and /lib-user/profile respectively. All these URLs accept a next parameter that tells lib-user where to redirect the user when done. Default is "/".

For example:

if (user)
    print("Hello ", user.uname, "!");
else
    print("Please ", link("/lib-user/login", "log in"), ".");

...yields:

This library is customizable. You can specify a multitude of options, by defining variable _lib_user_options as an object and setting its parameters before importing this library. Those options include adding additional fields to the registration form and replacing the existing text with custom text. The table below describes the parameters of _lib_user_options as well as its default values.

function(email) {
    var testRE = new RegExp(
      '^([-\w\.\+]+|"[^"]+")'+
      '\@([-\w]+\.)+([-\w]+)\.?$');
    if (testRE.test(email)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return "Invalid email address."
    }
