Passport-google-drive

Passport strategy for authenticating with Google Drive using the OAuth 2.0 API.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-google-drive

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Google Drive authentication strategy authenticates users using a Google 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.

The consumer key and secret are obtained by creating an application at Google's developer site.

    passport.use(new GoogleDriveStrategy({
        clientID: DRIVE_CLIENT_ID,
        clientSecret: DRIVE_CLIENT_SECRET,
        callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/google-drive/callback"
      },
      function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
        User.findOrCreate({ driveId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
          return done(err, user);
        });
      }
    ));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'google-drive' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

    app.get('/auth/google-drive',
      passport.authenticate('google-drive'));

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