Passport-Yahoo-New-OAuth2

Passport strategies for authenticating with Yahoo! using the OAuth 2.0 API.

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

Installation

- Original version
$ npm install passport-yahoo-oauth
- Forked version
$ npm install passport-yahoo-new-oauth2

Usage

Configure Strategy

OAuth2 (new forked version)

var YahooStrategy = require('passport-yahoo-new-oauth2').OAuth2Strategy;

passport.use(new YahooStrategy({
    consumerKey: YAHOO_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumerSecret: YAHOO_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/yahoo/callback"
  },
  function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ yahooId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

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

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.

Issues

If you receive a 401 Unauthorized error, it is most likely because you have not yet specified any application "Permissions". Once you do so, Yahoo! will generate new credentials for usage, and will then authenticate your requests properly.

Tests

$ npm install --dev
$ make test
