Passport-Imgur
Passport strategy for authenticating with Imgur using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Imgur in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Imgur authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-imgur
Usage
Configure Strategy
The Imgur authentication strategy authenticates users using a Imgur 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 ImgurStrategy({
clientID: IMGUR_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/imgur/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ imgurId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));

, specifying the 'imgur'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/imgur',
passport.authenticate('imgur'));
app.get('/auth/imgur/callback',
passport.authenticate('imgur', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
