This repo is forked from Nightgunner5/node-wordpress-auth. Since The original project is not working on new node versions and is not maintained by the original author anymore I decided to update the code to make it work and publish a npm package based on that.

TO INSTALL:

npm install wp-authenticator

TO USE:

In your init:

var wp_auth = require('wp-authenticator').create({

wpurl: 'http://my-blog.example',

logged_in_key: 'LOGGED_IN_KEY from wp-config.php',

logged_in_salt: 'LOGGED_IN_SALT from wp-config.php',

mysql_host: 'MySQL host',

mysql_user: 'MySQL username',

mysql_pass: 'MySQL password',

mysql_db: 'MySQL database',

wp_table_prefix: 'WordPress table prefix (eg. wp_)' });

When you get a HTTP request and you need to verify auth:

wp_auth.checkAuth( req ).on( 'auth', function( auth_is_valid, user_id ) {

auth_is_valid; // true if the user is logged in, false if they are not

user_id; // the ID number of the user or 0 if the user is not logged in

} );

To get a usermeta value:

wp_auth.getUserMeta( user_id, 'meta_key (eg. occupation)', function( data ) {

// data is null if the user doesn't exist or doesn't have the key.

// Otherwise, it is the value you would get in WordPress (unserialized intelligently)

} );

To set a usermeta value:

wp_auth.setUserMeta( user_id, 'meta_key (eg. occupation)', 'meta_value (eg. Eating spaghetti)' );

To get a user_id from a usermeta value:

wp_auth.reverseUserMeta( 'meta_key (eg. occupation)', 'meta_value (eg. Eating spaghetti)', function( id ) {

// id is null if no user could be found with the given meta key value pair

// Otherwise, it is the ID of the user

// If multiple users matched, only one will be given

} );
