Accounts-Phone is a Meteor package that let you authenticate by phone number. The package use SMS code verification to verify the user account. The package is based and inspired by Meteor Accounts-Password package.
In a Meteor app directory, enter:
$ meteor add okland:accounts-phone
Via Bower:
$ bower install accounts-phone
Add to your index.html
<script src="bower_components/accounts-base-client-side/dist/accounts-base-client-side.bundle.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/accounts-phone/dist/accounts-phone.bundle.min.js"></script>
Let's say you want to register new user and verify him using his phone number
Verify phone number - Create user if not exists
var userPhone = '+972545999999';
// Request for sms phone verification -- please note before receiving SMS you should Follow the SMS Integration tutorial below
Accounts.requestPhoneVerification(userPhone, function(){});
//Debug: Verify the user phone isn't confirmed it.
console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());
// After receiving SMS let user enter his code and verify account by sending it to the server
var verificationCode = 'CodeRecivedBySMS';
Accounts.verifyPhone(userPhone, verificationCode, function(){});
//Debug: Verify the user phone is confirmed.
console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());If you are using twilio : you can just put your twilio credentials on server.
SMS.twilio = {FROM: 'XXXXXXXXXXXX', ACCOUNT_SID: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', AUTH_TOKEN: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'};otherwise you can just override the function
SMS.send = function (options) {};Where the parameter options is an object containing : * @param options * @param options.from {String} - The sending SMS number * @param options.to {String} - The receiver SMS number * @param options.body {String} - The content of the SMS
Moreover to control the Sending number and the message content you can override the phone Template
SMS.phoneTemplates = {
from: '+9729999999',
text: function (user, code) {
return 'Welcome your invitation code is: ' + code;
}
};- Note: it can only be done on server

Accounts.isPhoneVerified = function () { };- verificationCodeLength : The length of the verification code
- verificationMaxRetries : The number of SMS verification tries before verification temporary lock
- verificationRetriesWaitTime : The verification lock time after max retries
- verificationWaitTime : The verification lock time if between two retries
- sendPhoneVerificationCodeOnCreation : Whether to send phone number verification on user creation
- forbidClientAccountCreation: Don't let client create user on server
- phoneVerificationMasterCode: Optional master code if exists let user verify account by entering this code for example '1234'
- adminPhoneNumbers: Optional array of admin phone numbers - don't need to be valid phone numbers for example ['+972123456789', '+972987654321']
In order to change those settings just override the property under :
Accounts._options
For example to change the verificationMaxRetries to 3 all we need to do is:
Accounts._options.verificationMaxRetries = 3;Creating new user
// Create a user.
var options = {phone:'+972545999999'};
// You can also create user with password
options.password = 'VeryHardPassword';
Accounts.createUserWithPhone(options, function (){});
// Debug: Verify the user phone isn't confirmed it.
console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified()); var userPhone = '+972545999999';
// Request for sms phone verification -- please note before receiving SMS you should Follow the SMS Integration tutorial below
Accounts.requestPhoneVerification(userPhone, function(){});

console.log('Phone verification status is :', Accounts.isPhoneVerified());
// After receiving SMS let user enter his code and verify account by sending it to the server
var verificationCode = 'CodeRecivedBySMS';
var newPassword = null;
// You can keep your old password by sending null in the password field
Accounts.verifyPhone(userPhone, verificationCode, function(){});
//Debug: Verify the user phone is confirmed.
