Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

A QSXL fork of LinkedIn OAuth2 Strategy including ""Community Management API" fix and types.

Install

npm install @qsxlpublic/passport-linkedin-oauth2 yarn add @qsxlpublic/passport-linkedin-oauth2

1. Usage

Register the strategy

1. Example for "Share on LinkedIn"

var LinkedInStrategy = require("passport-linkedin-oauth2").Strategy;

passport.use(
	new LinkedInStrategy(
		{
			clientID: LINKEDIN_KEY,
			clientSecret: LINKEDIN_SECRET,
			callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/linkedin/callback",
			scope: ["email", "profile", "openid"],
		},
		function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
			// asynchronous verification, for effect...
			process.nextTick(function () {
				// To keep the example simple, the user's LinkedIn profile is returned to
				// represent the logged-in user. In a typical application, you would want
				// to associate the LinkedIn account with a user record in your database,
				// and return that user instead.
				return done(null, profile);
			});
		}
	)
);

2. Exmample for "Community Management API"

var LinkedInStrategy = require("passport-linkedin-oauth2").Strategy;

passport.use(
	new LinkedInStrategy(
		{
			clientID: LINKEDIN_KEY,
			clientSecret: LINKEDIN_SECRET,
			callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/linkedin/callback",
			scope: ["r_basicprofile"], // 'profile', 'openid' scope will not work for "Community Management API"
		},
		function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
			// asynchronous verification, for effect...
			process.nextTick(function () {
				// To keep the example simple, the user's LinkedIn profile is returned to
				// represent the logged-in user. In a typical application, you would want
				// to associate the LinkedIn account with a user record in your database,
				// and return that user instead.
				return done(null, profile);
			});
		}
	)
);

and then authenticate as:

app.get("/auth/linkedin", passport.authenticate("linkedin", { state: "SOME STATE" }), function (req, res) {
	// The request will be redirected to LinkedIn for authentication, so this
	// function will not be called.
});

the login callback:

app.get(
	"/auth/linkedin/callback",
	passport.authenticate("linkedin", {
		successRedirect: "/",
		failureRedirect: "/login",
	})
);

See this for details on LinkedIn API.

Auto-handle state param

The state param is used to prevent CSRF attacks, and is required by the LinkedIn API. You can ask Passport to handle the sending and validating of the state parameter by passing state: true as an option to the strategy:

var LinkedInStrategy = require("passport-linkedin-oauth2").Strategy;

passport.use(
	new LinkedInStrategy(
		{
			clientID: LINKEDIN_KEY,
			clientSecret: LINKEDIN_SECRET,
			callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/linkedin/callback",
			scope: ["email", "profile", "openid"],
			state: true,
		},
		function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
			// asynchronous verification, for effect...
			process.nextTick(function () {
				// To keep the example simple, the user's LinkedIn profile is returned to
				// represent the logged-in user. In a typical application, you would want
				// to associate the LinkedIn account with a user record in your database,
				// and return that user instead.
				return done(null, profile);
			});
		}
	)
);

and then authenticate as:

app.get("/auth/linkedin", passport.authenticate("linkedin"), function (req, res) {
	// The request will be redirected to LinkedIn for authentication, so this
	// function will not be called.
});
