passport-kelal

Passport strategy for authenticating with Kelal Profile using the OAuth 2.0 API.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-kelal

Usage

Create an Application

Before using passport-kelal, you must register your application with The Kelal Platform. If you have not already done so, a new project can be created in the TODO (COMING SOON). Your application will be issued a app ID and app secret, which need to be provided to the strategy. You will also need to configure a redirect URI which matches the route in your registered application.

Configure Strategy

The Kelal authentication strategy authenticates users using a Kelal profile and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The app 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 and optional refresh token, as well as profile which contains the authenticated user's Kelal Platform profile. The verify callback must call cb providing a user to complete authentication.

var KelalStrategy = require('passport-kelal').Strategy

passport.use(new KelalStrategy({
    appID: APP_ID,
    appSecret: APP_SECRET,
    callbackUrl: "http://www.example.com/auth/kelal/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
    User.findOrCreate({ kelalProfileId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return cb(err, user)
    })
  }
))

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/kelal',
  passport.authenticate('kelal', { scope: ['profile'] }))

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

Examples

Developers using the popular Express web framework can refer to an example as a starting point for their own web applications. The example shows how to authenticate users using Facebook. However, because both Facebook and Kelal Profile use OAuth 2.0, the code is similar. Simply replace references to Facebook with corresponding references to Kelal.
