Passport-pinterest-oauth NPM

Passport-Pinterest-OAuth

Passport strategies for authenticating with Pinterest using OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0.

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

The client id and client secret needed to authenticate with Pinterest can be set up from the developer's console Pinterest Developer's Console.

Install

$ npm install passport-pinterest-oauth

Usage of OAuth 2.0

Configure Strategy

The Pinterest OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy authenticates users using a Pinterest 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 client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

var PinterestStrategy = require('passport-pinterest-oauth').OAuth2Strategy;

passport.use(new PinterestStrategy({
    clientID: PINTEREST_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: PINTEREST_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/pinterest/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ pinterestId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'pinterest' strategy, to authenticate requests. Authentication with Pinterest requires an extra scope parameter. For information, go here.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/pinterest',
  passport.authenticate('pinterest', { scope: [
      'read_pubic',
      'write_public',
      'read_relationships',
      'write_relationships'
    ] }));

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