Example typo?

[m-onz]

Hello I'm having issues with the example and using the library...

`sessionToken=${secureToken.toString('base64')}`,
// secureToken.toString() returns... [object Object]

do you mean...

`sessionToken=${sessionToken.toString('base64')}`, ?

Would it be possible to add an example.js file (without a http server or anything) just to get a working example to go on?

Here is the code I'm running:

/*

  test for secure tokens...

*/

var secureToken = require ('secure-token')

var db = new Map ()

var session_token = secureToken.create()

//
db.set(secureToken.hash(session_token, 'session'), true)

var new_session_token = secureToken.hash(session_token).toString('base64')

// ---------------------------------------------------------------

var _session_token = Buffer.from(new_session_token, 'base64')
var _hash          = secureToken.hash(_session_token, 'session')

if (!db.get(_hash)) {
  return console.log('ALWAYS UNAUTHORIZED! but i thought this would work... ')
}

console.log('AUTHORIZATION SUCCESSFUL -- doesnt see me. : (')

Ah yes, that is a typo, but I also realise now that there are a couple of other issues with the example, eg. Map checking by reference identity. Here's what a barebones example would look like (pardon the bad var names):

var secureToken = require('secure-token')

var sessionToken = secureToken.create()

// => This conversion to a string is important for our Map database
var saveToDb = secureToken.hash(sessionToken, 'session').toString('base64')
db.set(saveToDb, true)

var sendThisToClient = sessionToken.toString('base64')

// -----------------------------------------

var receivedToken = Buffer.from(sendThisToClient, 'base64')
var checkInDb = secureToken.hash(receivedToken, 'session').toString('base64')

if (db.has(checkInDb)) {
  console.log('Authorized')
} else {
  console.log('Unauthorized')
}

Thanks for reporting this!

No problem I'm glad I can help. Thanks for making the library! 👍
