An abstract class implementing [Passport](http://passportjs.org/)'s strategy
API.

## Install

    $ npm install passport-strategy

## Usage

This module exports an abstract `Strategy` class that is intended to be
subclassed when implementing concrete authentication strategies.  Once
implemented, such strategies can be used by applications that utilize Passport
middleware for authentication.

#### Subclass Strategy

Create a new `CustomStrategy` constructor which inherits from `Strategy`:

```javascript
var util = require('util')
  , Strategy = require('passport-strategy');

function CustomStrategy(...) {
  Strategy.call(this);
}

util.inherits(CustomStrategy, Strategy);
```

#### Implement Authentication

Implement `autheticate()`, performing the necessary operations required by the
authentication scheme or protocol being implemented.

```javascript
CustomStrategy.prototype.authenticate = function(req, options) {
  // TODO: authenticate request
}
```

## Tests

    $ npm install
    $ npm test
