Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Passport-Threads

Passport strategy for authenticating with Threads using the OAuth 2.0 API.

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

Installation

NPM Stats

This is a module for node.js and is installed via npm:

npm install passport-threads --save

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Threads authentication strategy authenticates users using a Threads 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, scope, and callback URL.

passport.use(new ThreadsStrategy({
        clientID: THREADS_CLIENT_ID,
        clientSecret: THREADS_CLIENT_SECRET,
        scope: ['user.info.basic'],
        callbackURL: "https://localhost:3000/auth/threads/callback"
    },
    function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
        User.findOrCreate({ threadsId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
            return done(err, user);
        });
    }
));

Threads only allows https callback urls. This blog article explains the quickest way to enable https for your Express server.

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

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

Versions

By default we are using version 1.0. If other version is required it can be used like the following example.

passport.use(new ThreadsStrategy({
        version: "v1.0",
        clientID: THREADS_CLIENT_ID,
        clientSecret: THREADS_CLIENT_SECRET,
        scope: ['threads_basic'],
        callbackURL: "https://localhost:3000/auth/threads/callback"
    },
    function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
        User.findOrCreate({ threadsId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
            return done(err, user);
        });
    }
));
