passport-videoask
Passport strategy for authenticating with Typeform using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Typeform in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Typeform authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-videoask
Usage
Create an Application
Before using passport-videoask
, you must register an application with Typeform.
If you have not already done so, a new application can be created at
applications within
Typeforms's account settings. Your application will be issued a client ID and client
secret, which need to be provided to the strategy. You will also need to
configure a callback URL which matches a route in your application.
Configure Strategy
The Typeform authentication strategy authenticates users using a Typeform account
and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The client 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
Typeform profile. The verify
callback must call cb
providing a user to
complete authentication.
var TypeformStrategy = require('passport-typeform').Strategy;
passport.use(
new TypeformStrategy(
{
clientID: process.env.TYPEFORM_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.TYPEFORM_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: 'https://www.website.com/auth/typeform/callback',
scope: ['accounts:read'] // accounts:read is needed to fetch the user's profile, together with any other scope that you require
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
User.findOrCreate({ email: profile.email }, function(err, user) {
return cb(err, user);
});
}
)
);
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'typeform'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/typeform', passport.authenticate('typeform'));
app.get(
'/auth/typeform/callback',
passport.authenticate('typeform', { 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 Typeform use OAuth 2.0, the code is similar. Simply replace references to Facebook with corresponding references to Typeform.
