basic-login-bar-spa

No Refresh version of an EJS header template with login, signup, social media and forgot email functions

This module extends your Express app with routes and templates needed to quickly add login functionality to your app.

• requires EJS and AngularJS ~1.4
• requires you use Passport.JS and Express Session

How to use:

npm install --save basic-login-bar-spa

In your server.js or app.js:

app.use(session({ secret: 'blah' }));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(flash());

app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); 
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
app.use('/users', express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

require('basic-login-bar')(app,session,passport);

In your own templates

   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.7/angular.min.js"></script> <!-- load angular -->
   <script src="app.js"></script>
   ...
<%- include ../node_modules/basic-login-bar/views/partials/header.ejs %>

The .ejs partial for the header requires a 'title' property inputed from all your server routes. This autogenerates the title shown on the header. For example:

       res.render('index.ejs', {
           title : app.title,

You can define app.title in server.js/index.js or in package.json and require it.
