passport-custom
Passport strategy for authenticating with custom logic.
This module lets you authenticate using custom logic in your Node.js applications. It is based on passport-local module by Jared Hanson. By plugging into Passport, custom authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-custom
Usage
Configure Strategy
The custom authentication strategy authenticates users by custom logic of your choosing.
The strategy requires a verify
callback, which is where the custom logic goes and calls
done
providing a user. Note that, req is always passed as the first parameter to the
verify
callback.
Here is the pseudo code:
;const CustomStrategy = passportCustomStrategy; passport;
And a basic example:
passport;
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'custom'
strategy (or whatever you named the strategy upon registration), to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app;
