strange-auth

1.0.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

A Redux-based authentication toolkit by strangeluv, version 1.0.0. It provides factory functions for creating auth reducers and actions, managing login/logout status, credentials, artifacts, and errors. Targets Redux 3.x and redux-thunk 2.x. No recent updates; likely maintenance-only.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'redux-thunk' ↓

cause Missing redux-thunk peer dependency

fix

Run: npm install redux-thunk@2.x

error Uncaught TypeError: makeActions is not a function ↓

cause Using import instead of require in a CJS-only environment

fix

Use const { makeActions } = require('strange-auth') instead of import.

error Error: Invalid credentials (or custom error) ↓

cause Login function implementation error

fix

Ensure the callback is called with (null, { credentials, artifacts }) on success, or (error) on failure.

Warnings

breaking Requires Redux 3.x and redux-thunk 2.x as peer dependencies; incompatible with Redux 4+ or newer thunk versions. ↓

fix Downgrade to Redux 3.x and redux-thunk 2.x, or find an alternative library.

deprecated No updates since 2016; likely unmaintained. Not compatible with modern Redux patterns (e.g., Redux Toolkit). ↓

fix Consider migrating to Redux Toolkit or a modern auth library.

gotcha makeActions expects a callback-style or promise-returning login/logout function; using async/await incorrectly may break. ↓

fix Ensure returned value is a promise or call the callback with (error, result).

gotcha Status constants are accessed via statuses.WAITING; string literal 'WAITING' may cause silent failures if misspelled. ↓

fix Always import statuses object and use its properties.

Install

npm install strange-auth

yarn add strange-auth

pnpm add strange-auth

Imports

makeReducer

wrong

const StrangeAuth = require('strange-auth'); const reducer = StrangeAuth.makeReducer; // okay but default import not used

correct

const { makeReducer } = require('strange-auth')

CommonJS only; no ESM exports.

makeActions

wrong

const StrangeAuth = require('strange-auth'); const actions = StrangeAuth.makeActions; // okay

correct

const { makeActions } = require('strange-auth')

Use named import via destructuring or direct property access.

types

wrong

import { types } from 'strange-auth' // ESM not supported

correct

const { types } = require('strange-auth')

Not available as ES module; use require.

statuses

wrong

const statuses = require('strange-auth').statuses; // okay

correct

const { statuses } = require('strange-auth')

Import via require; statuses object contains constants like WAITING.

default import

wrong

import StrangeAuth from 'strange-auth' // ESM not supported

correct

const StrangeAuth = require('strange-auth')

Library is CJS-only; default require gives the module object.

Quickstart

Shows how to create a store with strange-auth reducer, define actions with a mock login, and import types/statuses.

const { createStore, combineReducers } = require('redux');
const { makeReducer, makeActions, types, statuses } = require('strange-auth');
const { connect } = require('react-redux');

const authReducer = makeReducer();
const rootReducer = combineReducers({ auth: authReducer });
const store = createStore(rootReducer);

const authActions = makeActions({
  login: (username, password, cb) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      if (username === 'user' && password === 'pass') {
        cb(null, { credentials: { token: 'abc' }, artifacts: {} });
      } else {
        cb(new Error('Invalid credentials'));
      }
    }, 100);
  }
});

console.log(types); // { LOGIN_ATTEMPT: ..., LOGIN_SUCCESS: ..., LOGIN_FAILURE: ..., LOGOUT_ATTEMPT: ..., LOGOUT_SUCCESS: ..., LOGOUT_FAILURE: ... }
console.log(statuses.WAITING); // 'WAITING'
