Body
I am trying to use <code>everyauth</code> within <code>express</code> to authenticate users to a website that allows adding text commentary to images. I am currently using the twitter oauth api to authenticate my users. Now I'm trying to established a custom user database that allows me to keep multiple ways of logging in connected to a single entry in a CouchDB. I am running into trouble when i want to add a new user to the DB when he initially connects via twitter. The code of my <code>findUserById</code> reads as following: <pre><code>everyauth.everymodule.findUserById (userId, callback) -> users.findById userId, (err,res) -> if res.id # id returned, so there is an entry in the DB callback null, res else # no entry in the DB, add a new one users.saveById JSON.stringify(userId), {"name":"test"}, (saveErr, saveRes) -> callback null, saveRes everyauth.twitter .consumerKey(config.twitterConsumerKey) .consumerSecret(config.twitterConsumerSecret) .findOrCreateUser((session, token, secret, user) -> promise = @.Promise().fulfill user ).redirectPath '/' </code></pre> <code>findById</code> and <code>saveById</code> are methods of a <code>cradle</code> object that query the DB, <code>userId</code> is provided by everyauth, as it seems. My problem lies in the <code>{"name":"test"}</code> part. This is the location where I want to add the data from the <code>req.session.auth.twitter</code> object to the DB. How can I access those values from within the <code>findUserById</code>function? Is that even possible? Is there a different approach? I am looking at the findOrCreateUser function, but I have no idea how to change that without crashing my app - i do not yet grasp the concept of the Promise.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
