 * @param  {String} login    login name
 * @param  {String} password login password
 * @return {User}
 */
proto.auth = function* (login, password) {};

proto.get = function* (login) {};

/**

 * @param  {Array<String>} logins  login names
 * @return {Array<User>}
 */
proto.list = function* (logins) {};

/**

 * @param  {Object} [options] optional query params
 *  - {Number} limit match users count, default is `20`
 * @return {Array<User>}
 */
proto.search = function* (query, options) {};

Create your UserService and use it

Your own UserService must impl Default UserService API:

  • auth(login, password)
  • get(login)
  • list(logins)
  • search(query, options)

Then put it to config overwrite the DefaultUserService:

config.userService = new YourUserService();
