## README

# Passport-Google

[Passport](http://passportjs.org/) strategy for authenticating with [Google](http://www.google.com/)
using OpenID 2.0.

This module lets you authenticate using Google in your Node.js applications.
By plugging into Passport, Google authentication can be easily and
unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports
[Connect](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/)-style middleware, including
[Express](http://expressjs.com/).

## Installation

    $ npm install passport-google

## Usage

#### Configure Strategy

The Google authentication strategy authenticates users using a Google account,
which is also an OpenID 2.0 identifier.  The strategy requires a `validate`
callback, which accepts this identifier and calls `done` providing a user.
Additionally, options can be supplied to specify a return URL and realm.

    passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
        returnURL: 'http://localhost:3000/auth/google/return',
        realm: 'http://localhost:3000/'
      },
      function(identifier, done) {
        User.findByOpenID({ openId: identifier }, function (err, user) {
          return done(err, user);
        });
      }
    ));

#### Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an [Express](http://expressjs.com/)
application:

    app.get('/auth/google',
      passport.authenticate('google'),
      function(req, res){
        // The request will be redirected to Google for authentication, so
        // this function will not be called.
      });

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