Usage

Requirements

To use this module, you will need a Twitch Developer Account . Then create an application and retrieve/fill out the following: clientID, clientSecret, and redirect URIs (enter your redirect URIs).

Configuration

Initialize the strategy as follows:

const TwitchStrategy = require('twitch-oauth-passport').Strategy;
passport.use(new TwitchStrategy({
    clientID: "<client id>",
    clientSecret: "<client secret>",
    callbackURL: "<callback url>"
}, function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ twitchId: profile.data.id }, function(err, user) {
        return done(err, user);
}}));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate() to authunicate the requests.

For example, you could implement it with Express like this:

app.get("/login", passport.authenticate("twitch"));

app.get(
  "/callback",
  passport.authenticate("twitch", { failureRedirect: "/login" }),
  function (req, res) {
    res.redirect("/"); //redirect on successful authentication
  }
);
