passport-slice v0.1.1

Passport-Slice

Passport strategy for authenticating with Slice using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using Slice in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Slice authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express. The included example lets you quickly set up a test server with Express 4 that uses Slice for authentication.

Install

$ npm install passport-slice

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Slice authentication strategy authenticates users using a Slice 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.

passport.use(new SliceStrategy({
    clientID: SLICE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: SLICE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/slice/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({userEmail: profile.userEmail}, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

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

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
