Passport-AppDotNet

Passport strategy for authenticating with App.net using the OAuth 2.0 API.

Installation

$ npm install passport-appdotnet

Usage

Configure Strategy

The App.net authentication strategy authenticates users using a App.net account and OAuth tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a consumer key, consumer secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new AppDotNetStrategy({
    consumerKey: APPDOTNET_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumerSecret: APPDOTNET_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/appdotnet/callback"
  },
  function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ appdotnetId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'appdotnet' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/appdotnet',
  passport.authenticate('appdotnet'),
  function(req, res){
    // The request will be redirected to App.net for authentication, so this
    // function will not be called.
  });

app.get('/auth/appdotnet/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('appdotnet', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });
