angular-passport's Issues

User cookie undefined when cached content is used

I relied heavily on this boilerplate project to set up my first Angular/Express app: thank you!

I've run into a problem on my project where sometimes I'll go to a page and my app things I'm not logged in, though I have an active session. If I reload the page, it immediately thinks I'm logged in again. I was able to stumble onto consistent reproduction steps today, and they work on this repo out of the box, with no modifications other than a console.log one line 5 of app/scripts/services/Auth.js.

To reproduce the issue, log in, then go to a page outside the app. Then use your browser's back button to return to your app. You'll find the user cookie is undefined, and the app thinks you're not logged in. If you reload the page, things are fine.

This is because the cookie that gets set here isn't actually being called.

I'm going to try to solve this problem on my own, now, but I wanted to let you know about it and get the thoughts of a wiser mind than my own on the best way to fix it. I don't fully understand the reason for removing the cookie and getting it reset each time.

Please let me know if I can provide any more details, and thanks again for making this project!

Peer [email protected] wants karma-requirejs@~0.2.0

Can not install npm dependencies without changing karma-requirejs version on package.json

Any plans to keep this project going?

Looks like this project has fallen by the wayside. Any plans to keep it going?

ui.bootstrap stops application to run

Adding angular-bootstrap to bower.json solves the issue.

Asking for log in when direct linking or refreshing on blogs page

Hello DaftMonk,

Thank you so much for making this. It's been a great help with a personal project of mine.

I have one issue with this however, not a deal breaker at all but it would be nice for a solution.

If you were to direct link to http://angular-passport.herokuapp.com/blogs or if you go to that URL and refresh the page when you're not logged in, it will prompt you to log in (throwing a 401 error). However, if you started from the home page and click on the Blogs link, it will not ask you to log in.

I've been trying to figure it out on my own, but I'm having a hard time. Is there a way we can make it so that it doesn't prompt you to log in if you direct link or when you hit refresh on the page.

Thanks in advanced!

app.router is deprecated

I noticed that you had app.use(app.router). However, this will give traceback when logging errors:

Error: 'app.router' is deprecated!

I think you can use express.Router(); instead

bcrypt installation fails

During npm install bcrypt installation fails. I feel it's due to I don't have visual studio. May be using bcrypt-nodejs is helpful.

Token based authentication. Is it possible?

Hi, thanks for your work.

Is it possible to integrate this in your project? Or there is already a tutorial on the web for this?
