Passport-Buddy

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

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

Install

$ npm install passport-buddy

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Buddy authentication strategy authenticates users using a Buddy 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 BuddyStrategy({
    clientID: BUDDY_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: BUDDY_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/buddy/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ buddyId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/buddy',
  passport.authenticate('buddy', {scope: ['USER_EMAIL', 'MANAGE_EMAILS']}));

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