passport-local-token
Passport strategy for authenticating with an authentication token.
This module lets you authenticate using a token in your Node.js applications. It is based on passport-local module by Jared Hanson. By plugging into Passport, token authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-local-token
Usage
Configure Strategy
The token authentication strategy authenticates users using a token.
The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these
credentials and calls done providing a user.
Here is the pseudo code.
passport.use('local-token', new LocalStrategy(
function(token, done) {
AccessToken.findOne({
id: token
}, function(error, accessToken) {
if (error) {
return done(error);
}
if (accessToken) {
if (!token.isValid(accessToken)) {
return done(null, false);
}
User.findOne({
id: accessToken.userId
}, function(error, user) {
if (error) {
return done(error);
}
if (!user) {
return done(null, false);
}
return done(null, user);
});
} else {
return done(null);
}
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'local' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate(
'local-token',
{
session: false,
optional: false
}
),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
You can also set the parameter optional to true, so the same call can be both authenticated and not authenticated.
