passport-aircall

Passport strategy for authenticating with Aircall using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using Aircall in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Aircall authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Install

$ npm install passport-aircall

Usage

Create an Application

Before using passport-aircall, you must obtain OAuth credentation from Aircall. If you don't have them yet, please follow this step of Aircall's tutorial. Aircall's team will issue a client_id and client_secret, which need to be provided to the strategy. You will also need to configure a callback URL which matches a route in your application.

Configure Strategy

The Aircall authentication strategy authenticates companies using an Aircall account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The client_id and client_secret obtained before are supplied as options when creating the strategy. The strategy also requires a verify callback, which receives the access token and optional refresh token, as well as profile which contains the authenticated company's Aircall profile. The verify callback must call cb providing a user to complete authentication.

var AircallStrategy = require('passport-aircall').Strategy;

passport.use(
  new AircallStrategy(
    {
      clientID: process.env.AIRCALL_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: process.env.AIRCALL_CLIENT_SECRET,
      callbackURL: 'https://www.website.com/auth/aircall/callback',
      scope: ['public_api'] // 'public_api' is a mandatory scope
    },
    function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
      Company.findOrCreate({ name: profile.name }, function(err, company) {
        return cb(err, company);
      });
    }
  )
);

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'aircall' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/aircall', passport.authenticate('aircall'));

app.get(
  '/auth/aircall/callback',
  passport.authenticate('aircall', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  }
);

Examples

Developers using the popular Express web framework can refer to an example as a starting point for their own web applications. The example shows how to authenticate users using Facebook. However, because both Facebook and Aircall use OAuth 2.0, the code is similar. Simply replace references to Facebook with corresponding references to Aircall.
