Passport-Torchlite
Passport strategy for authenticating with Torchlite using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Torchlite in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Torchlite authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm i passport-torchlite
Usage
Create an Application
Before using passport-torchlite, you mush register an application with
Torchlite. If you would like to register a new application please email
dmccormick@torchlite.com with details about your application. Once your
application has been approved you will be issues a clientId and
clientSecret. You will also need to specify a redirect URI which matches
the route in your application.
Configure Strategy
The Torchlite authentication strategy authenticates users using a Torchlite
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The clientId and clientSecret obtained when creating an
application are supplied as options when creating the strategy. The strategy
also requires a verify callback, which receives the access token and optional
refresh token, as well as profile which contains the authenticated user's
Facebook profile. The verify callback must call cb providing a user to
complete authentication.
passport.use(new TorchliteStrategy({
clientID: TORCHLITE_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: TORCHLITE_CLIENT_SECRET ,
callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/torchlite/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
User.findOrCreate({ torchliteId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return cb(err, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'torchlite' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/torchlite',
passport.authenticate('torchlite'));
app.get('/auth/torchlite/callback',
passport.authenticate('torchlite', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
