clever-passport

Passport strategy for Instant Login with Clever

This module is fork raclim's passport-clever, with tons of bug fixes.

This module is a version of weadf passport-clever

Installation

Install the package via npm: npm install @weadf/clever-passport

Usage

Requirements

To use this module, you will need a Clever Developer Account . Then create an application and retrieve/fill out the following: clientID, clientSecret, and redirect URIs (enter your redirect URIs).

Configuration

Initialize the strategy as follows:

const CleverStrategy = require('clever-passport').Strategy;
passport.use(new CleverStrategy({
    clientID: "<client id>",
    clientSecret: "<client secret>",
    callbackURL: "<callback url>",
    passReqToCallback: true
}, function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ cleverId: profile.data.id }, function(err, user) {
        return done(err, user);
}}));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate() to authunicate the requests.

For example, you could implement it with Express like this:

app.get("/login", passport.authenticate("clever"));

app.get("/callback", passport.authenticate("clever", { failureRedirect: "/login" }),
  function(req, res) {
    res.redirect("/"); //redirect on successful authentication
});
