@ethereal-soft/passport-facebook-token v1.0.0
passport-facebook-token
Passport strategy for authenticating with Facebook access tokens using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Facebook in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Facebook authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Installation
$ npm install @ethereal-soft/passport-facebook-token
Usage
Configure Strategy
The Facebook authentication strategy authenticates users using a Facebook
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 app ID and app secret.
var FacebookTokenStrategy = require('passport-facebook-token');
passport.use(new FacebookTokenStrategy({
clientID: FACEBOOK_APP_ID,
clientSecret: FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET
}, function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({facebookId: profile.id}, function (error, user) {
return done(error, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'facebook-token'
strategy, to authenticate requests.
app.post('/auth/facebook/token',
passport.authenticate('facebook-token'),
function (req, res) {
// do something with req.user
res.send(req.user? 200 : 401);
}
);
Client Requests
Clients can send requests to routes that use passport-facebook-token authentication using query parms, body, or HTTP headers. Clients will need to transmit the access_token
and optionally the refresh_token
that are received from facebook after login.
Sending access_token as a Query parameter
GET /auth/facebook/token?access_token=<TOKEN_HERE>
Sending access token as an HTTP header
Clients can choose to send the access token using the Oauth2 Bearer token (RFC 6750) compliant format
GET /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
Authorization: Bearer base64_access_token_string
optionally a client can send via a custom (default access_token) header
GET /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
access_token: base64_access_token_string
Sending access token as an HTTP body
Clients can transmit the access token via the body
POST /resource HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
access_token=base64_access_token_string
