Twitch is a trademark or registered trademark of Twitch Interactive, Inc. in the U.S. and/or other countries. "passport-twitch-v5" is not operated by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Twitch Interactive, Inc. in any way.

Passport.js strategy for Twitch.tv authorization using OAuth 2.0. This module uses Twitch API v5 instead of V3.

Install

$ npm install passport-twitch-v5

Configure

The Twitch OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy authenticates users using a Twitch 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.

const passport       = require("passport");
const twitchStrategy = require("passport-twitch-v5").Strategy;

passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
    return done(null, user);
});

passport.deserializeUser(function(user, done) {
    return done(null, user);
});

passport.use(new twitchStrategy({
    clientID: <your_twitch_clientid_here>,
    clientSecret: <your_twitch_client_secret_here>,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitch/callback",
    scope: "user_read"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ twitchId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the "twitch" strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

Optionally, the forceVerify option can be set to true to indicate that the user should be re-prompted for authorization:

app.get("/auth/twitch", passport.authenticate("twitch", {forceVerify: true}));

Example

var express        = require("express");
var bodyParser     = require("body-parser");
var cookieParser   = require("cookie-parser");
var cookieSession  = require("cookie-session");
var passport       = require("passport");
var twitchStrategy = require("passport-twitch-v5").Strategy;

var app = express();

app.set("views", "./views");
app.set("view engine", "ejs");

// Middlewares
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(cookieSession({secret:"somesecrettokenhere"}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(express.static("./public"));

passport.use(new twitchStrategy({
    clientID: <your_twitch_clientid_here>,
    clientSecret: <your_twitch_client_secret_here>,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitch/callback",
    scope: "user_read"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    // Suppose we are using mongo..
    User.findOrCreate({ twitchId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
    done(null, user);
});

passport.deserializeUser(function(user, done) {
    done(null, user);
});

app.get("/", function (req, res) {
    res.render("index");
});

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

app.listen(3000);
