Passport-GitBook
Passport strategy for authenticating with GitBook using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using GitBook in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, GitBook authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-gitbook
Usage
Configure Strategy
The GitBook authentication strategy authenticates users using a GitBook 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 GitBookStrategy({
clientID: GITBOOK_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: GITBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/gitbook/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ gitbookId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'gitbook'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/gitbook',
passport.authenticate('gitbook'));
app.get('/auth/gitbook/callback',
passport.authenticate('gitbook', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
With GitBook Enterprise
GitBookStrategy
works well with GitBook Enterprise:
passport.use(new GitBookStrategy({
clientID: GITBOOK_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: GITBOOK_CLIENT_SECRET,
endpoint: "https://gitbook.myCompany.com/api/"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ gitbookId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
