Disqus SSO Express middleware

Express middleware aimed to make SSO with Disqus a little easier.

It does not replaces all the code you need to implement SSO with Disqus in your web app, it just tries to provide a more elegant solution to the backend code. See the Disqus docs for more information.

Installation

npm install --save disqus-sso-express

How to use

In the following example we are using passport to handle authentication via Twitter OAuth server. You can use the authentication method you want, but have in mind that disqus-sso-express middleware expects to have an object in the req.user property.

// Get `express` instance
var app = express()

// Require disqus-sso-express module and instantiate it with your API credentials
var disqus = require('disqus-sso-express')({
  publicKey: 'your disqus public key',
  secret: 'your disqus secret'
})

// Login route. A `req.user` object should be generated before putting the `disqus.login` middleware
app.get('/auth/github/callback',
  passport.authenticate('github'),
  disqus.login,
  redirect);

// Logout route
app.get('/logout',
  disqus.logout,
  function (req, res, next) {
    res.redirect('/');
  });
