Passport-Imgur

Passport strategy for authenticating with Imgur using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using Imgur in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Imgur authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Install

$ npm install passport-imgur

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Imgur authentication strategy authenticates users using a Imgur account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new ImgurStrategy({
    clientID: IMGUR_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/imgur/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ imgurId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/imgur',
  passport.authenticate('imgur'));

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