# passport-oauth2 General-purpose OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy for [Passport](https://www.passportjs.org/). This module lets you authenticate using OAuth 2.0 in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, OAuth 2.0-based sign in can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports [Connect](https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#readme)-style middleware, including [Express](https://expressjs.com/). Note that this strategy provides generic OAuth 2.0 support. In many cases, a provider-specific strategy can be used instead, which cuts down on unnecessary configuration, and accommodates any provider-specific quirks. See the [list](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport/wiki/Strategies) for supported providers. Developers who need to implement authentication against an OAuth 2.0 provider that is not already supported are encouraged to sub-class this strategy. If you choose to open source the new provider-specific strategy, please add it to the list so other people can find it.

The provider's OAuth 2.0 endpoints, as well as the client identifer and secret, are specified as options. The strategy requires a `verify` callback, which receives an access token and profile, and calls `cb` providing a user. ```js passport.use(new OAuth2Strategy({ authorizationURL: 'https://www.example.com/oauth2/authorize', tokenURL: 'https://www.example.com/oauth2/token', clientID: EXAMPLE_CLIENT_ID, clientSecret: EXAMPLE_CLIENT_SECRET, callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/example/callback" }, function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) { User.findOrCreate({ exampleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) { return cb(err, user); }); } )); ``` #### Authenticate Requests Use `passport.authenticate()`, specifying the `'oauth2'` strategy, to authenticate requests. For example, as route middleware in an [Express](http://expressjs.com/) application: ```js app.get('/auth/example', passport.authenticate('oauth2')); app.get('/auth/example/callback', passport.authenticate('oauth2', { failureRedirect: '/login' }), function(req, res) { // Successful authentication, redirect home. res.redirect('/'); }); ``` ## Related Modules - [passport-oauth1](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-oauth1) — OAuth 1.0 authentication strategy - [passport-http-bearer](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-http-bearer) — Bearer token authentication strategy for APIs - [OAuth2orize](https://github.com/jaredhanson/oauth2orize) — OAuth 2.0 authorization server toolkit ## Contributing #### Tests The test suite is located in the `test/` directory. All new features are expected to have corresponding test cases. Ensure that the complete test suite passes by executing: ```bash $ make test ``` #### Coverage All new feature development is expected to have test coverage. Patches that increse test coverage are happily accepted. Coverage reports can be viewed by executing: ```bash $ make test-cov $ make view-cov ``` ## License [The MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) Copyright (c) 2011-2016 Jared Hanson <[http://jaredhanson.net/](http://jaredhanson.net/)>
