Passport-meetup NPM

Passport-Meetup

Passport strategy for authenticating with Meetup using the OAuth 1.0a API.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-meetup

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Meetup authentication strategy authenticates users using a Meetup account and OAuth tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a consumer key, consumer secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new MeetupStrategy({
    consumerKey: MEETUP_OAUTH_KEY,
    consumerSecret: MEETUP_OAUTH_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/meetup/callback"
  },
  function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ meetupId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

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