bare-auth-linkedin

LinkedIn authentication with Bare Auth.

Installation

npm install bare-auth-linkedin

Setup

1. Create an App

Go to: https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps to get started

2. Add a valid Redirect URI

• Go to: https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps/{{APP_ID}}/auth
• Add a redirect URL with the following format: {{ORIGIN}}/auth/. Example: http://localhost:7000/auth/ or https://app.finbox.io/auth/

Important: Don't forget to add the trailing slash as part of the valid redirect URI.

3. Setup the client-side

var LinkedIn = require('linkedin-bare-auth');
var linkedin = LinkedIn({
  url: 'http://auth.example.com'
  client_id: linkedin_client_id,
  scope: ['profile']
})

linkedin(function(err, profile) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(profile);
});

4. Setup the server-side (example using express)

var LinkedIn = require('linkedin-bare-auth');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var express = require('express');
var cors = require('cors');

var app = module.exports = express();

app.use(cors());
app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.use(LinkedIn({
  client_secret: client_secret
  // optionally include a 'sign' function to add support for JWT
}));

app.listen(5000);
