USER

In order to access user specific functionality of InterMine like fetching private lists or uploading lists, one must be connected to the specific mine instance as an authenticated user

AUTHENTICATED SERVICE

const intermine = require('imjs')
// To create an authenticated service class
const authenticatedFlymine = new intermine.Service({
    root: 'www.flymine.org/query',
    token: ...                      // User token, to be obtained from your profile page
})

// In case you want to authorize an unauthorized service, use the connectAs option
// It returns the service with same root but connected as a different user

token = ...     // Token used to authorize the flymine
authenticatedFlymine = unauthenticatedFlymine.connectAs(token)

USER METHOD

imjs also provides User class to represent the authenticated user’s profile information and manipulate it

const intermine = require('imjs')
const flymine = new intermine.Service({
    root: 'www.flymine.org/query'
})
const me = new User(flymine, {
    username: ...                   // User's login name
})

// In order to set preferences, or clear them use the following methods
me.setPreference(key, value, (err, data) => {
    if(err) {
        // Something unexpected has happened, perform error handling here
        return;
    }
    // Preference set successfully...
})

me.clearPreference(key, (err, data) => {
    if(err) {
        // Something unexpected has happened, perform error handling here
        return;
    }
    // Preference cleared successfully...
})

// Using the User class, one can also create or revoke tokens in order to authenticate the Service
// First argument denotes the type of token to be created
me.createToken('day').then(newToken => {
    // Do something with the new token (like create a new Service with it)
})

// To delete all tokens
me.revokeAllTokens.then(() => {
    // Do something, after revoking all tokens
    // Preferrably clear of the authenticatd mine instances
})
