Passport-AngelList
Passport strategy for authenticating with AngelList using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using AngelList in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, AngelList authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-angellist
Usage
Configure Strategy
The AngelList authentication strategy authenticates users using an AngelList
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify
callback, which
accepts these credentials and calls done
providing a user, as well as
options
specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
passport.use(new AngelListStrategy({
clientID: ANGELLIST_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: ANGELLIST_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/angellist/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ angellistId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'angellist'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/angellist',
passport.authenticate('angellist'));
app.get('/auth/angellist/callback',
passport.authenticate('angellist', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});

For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
