passport-deepint

Passport strategy for authenticating with Deep Intelligence using the OAuth 2.0 API.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-deepint

Usage

Create an Application

Before using passport-deepint, you must register an application with Deep Intelligence. If you have not already done so, a new application can be created in the Deepint Panel. Your application will be issued a client ID and client secret, which need to be provided to the strategy. You will also need to configure a redirect URI which matches the route in your application.

Configure Strategy

The Deep Intelligence authentication strategy authenticates users using a Deep Intelligence account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The client ID and secret obtained when creating an application are supplied as options when creating the strategy. The strategy also requires a verify callback, which receives the access token as well as profile which contains the authenticated user's Deep Intelligence profile. The verify callback must call cb providing a user to complete authentication.

var DeepintStrategy = require('passport-deepint').Strategy;

Passport.use(new DeepintStrategy({
    clientID: EXAMPLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret:  EXAMPLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    },
    function(accessToken, profile, cb) {
        User.findOrCreate({ deepintId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
            return cb(err, user);
        });
    }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

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