loopback-component-oauth2

Forked original repo at 2.0.0-rc3 due to licence change to Strongloop.

The LoopBack oAuth 2.0 component provides full integration between OAuth 2.0 and LoopBack. It enables LoopBack applications to function as an oAuth 2.0 provider to authenticate and authorize client applications and/or resource owners (i.e. users) to access protected API endpoints.

The oAuth 2.0 protocol implementation is based on oauth2orize and passport.

See LoopBack Documentation - OAuth 2.0 Component for more information.

Install

Install the component from this fork:

$ npm install loopback-oauth2orize

Or add to package.json directly:

"loopback-oauth2orize": "git://github.com/ticadia/loopback-oauth2orize.git"

Use

Use in an application as follows:

var oauth2 = require('loopback-component-oauth2');

var options = {
  dataSource: app.dataSources.db, // Data source for oAuth2 metadata persistence
  loginPage: '/login', // The login page url
  loginPath: '/login' // The login form processing url
};

oauth2.oAuth2Provider(
  app, // The app instance
  options // The options
);

The app instance will be used to set up middleware and routes. The data source provides persistence for the oAuth 2.0 metadata models.
