Passport-Reddit 
Passport strategy for authenticating with Reddit using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Reddit in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Reddit authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-reddit
Usage
Configure Strategy
The Reddit authentication strategy authenticates users using a Reddit
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 RedditStrategy({
clientID: REDDIT_CONSUMER_KEY,
clientSecret: REDDIT_CONSUMER_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/reddit/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ redditId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'reddit' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/reddit', function(req, res, next){
passport.authenticate('reddit', {
duration: 'permanent',
})(req, res, next);
});
app.get('/auth/reddit/callback', function(req, res, next){
passport.authenticate('reddit', {
successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/login'
})(req, res, next);
});
duration option on authenticate call
This strategy supportsduration option on authenticate call, to request an indefinite authorization as opposed to 1 hour default.
Possible values: permanent and temporary (1 hour).
Defined in the official Reddit OAuth spec
