Passport-GitHub2

The author of Passport-Github has not maintained the original module for a long time. Features in his module don't work since Github upgraded their API to version 3.0. We forked it and re-published it to NPM with a new name passport-github2.

Beyond that, the maintainers of this fork also don't seem to be maintaining that anymore, and it was necessary to fork and further modify this package in order to return all emails provided by GitHub, given the proper scopes. See example below for an overview of what's been added in this particular fork.

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

This module lets you authenticate using GitHub in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, GitHub authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Installation

$ npm install passport-github2

Usage

Configure Strategy

The GitHub authentication strategy authenticates users using a GitHub 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 GitHubStrategy({
    clientID: GITHUB_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/github/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ githubId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/github',
  passport.authenticate('github', { scope: [ 'user:email' ] }));

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

Examples

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

As for the modifications made by this particular fork, they currently include:

Ability to pass in allRawEmails flag to Strategy constructor to return all raw emails from /user/emails response, rather than only getting the one primary email from that response.

Tests

$ npm install --dev
$ make test
