Passport-Yahoo-OAuth2

Passport strategy 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.

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Yahoo authentication strategy authenticates users using a Yahoo 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 API version, client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new YahooOAuth2Strategy({
    clientID: YAHOO_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: YAHOO_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "https://www.example.net/auth/Yahoo-oauth2/callback",
    redirectParams: {
        existingUserId: '12345',
        otherToken: OTHER_TOKEN
    }
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, params, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ providerId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'yahoo-oauth2' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/yahoo',
  passport.authenticate('yahoo-oauth2'));

app.get('/auth/yahoo/callback',
  passport.authenticate('yahoo-oauth2', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });
