migrating a meteor accounts system to accountsjs

meteor-to-accountsjs.MD

1. Make sure accountsjs knows to look for an _id that is a string

db: new MongoDBInterface(db, {
  convertUserIdToMongoObjectId: false, // this is the required change
  convertSessionIdToMongoObjectId: false, // unsure if this is required
  idProvider, // unsure if this is required
  dateProvider, // unsure if this is required
}),

const METEOR_ID_LENGTH = 17;

const idProvider = () =>
  randomBytes(30)
    .toString('base64')
    .replace(/[\W_]+/g, '')
    .substr(0, METEOR_ID_LENGTH);

const dateProvider = (date) => date || new Date();

2. on the frontend, hash the password before passing it to functions (like authenticate). Below is calling the graphql mutation. This will be needed, at the very least, for authenticate, changePassword and signup.

// import the hashing libraru
import { SHA256 } from 'crypto-js';

// ... 

// then in your login function, hash the password before passing to the mutation

const handleLogin = (email, password) => {

      const hashedPassword = SHA256(password);

      await this.props.authenticate({
        variables: {
          params: {
            password: hashedPassword.toString(),
            user: {
              email,
            },
          },
        },
      });

}
