Creating a new driver for Gocialite is a lot simple, thank also to @vibbix.

Create a file

I suggest you to duplicate drivers/bitbucket.go since it's a complete code and name it with your provider name, ex: myprovider.go.

Set variables

Change line 12 with:

const myProviderDriverName = "myprovider"

It will be used in the Driver() function, example: gocial.Driver("myprovider").
Now on line 19 you have to create the mapping from API to populate the User struct.
The relation is "json_field_name": "StructFieldName", so if in our JSON there's a field called "first_name", it will be "first_name": "FirstName".

If there's some nested/complex field, please see the next chapter User callback hook.

Finally, on lines 26-30 you have to fill the fields for the endpoint baseurl and the path of the user endpoint.
In the case of Bitbucket, the email address is retrievable only from another endpoint, so we put in it also emailEndpoint, but usually you will need only userEndpoint.

If your provider has the user endpoint located to https://api.myprovider.com/me, the struct will be this:

var MyProviderAPIMap = map[string]string{
	"endpoint":      "https://api.myprovider.com",
	"userEndpoint":  "/me",
}

Of course remember to rename all the variables. The ones that start with a capital letter are exported, so remember to write the first letter capitalized.

User callback hook

If you have some complex field or you need to call some other endpoint in order to retrieve a field, you can do that in this section.
In the case of Bitbucket, we use this hook to populate two fields: avatar from a nested array/map and email from another endpoint.

The client variable is an oAuth client so it's already set up for oAuth details like access_token.

## Testing Use the example page as starting point. Set up the credentials of your app in the providerSecrets variable, like:

providerSecrets := map[string]map[string]string{
		...
		"myprovider": {
			"clientID":     "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
			"clientSecret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
			"redirectURL":  "http://localhost:9090/auth/myprovider/callback",
		},
	}

And add the scopes for your app (or an empty slice) in the providerScopes variable:

providerScopes := map[string][]string{
		...
		"myprovider": []string{}, // Or []string{"my_scope", "my_other_scope"}
	}

Now run go run example.go (or the name of your file), navigate to http://localhost:9090/auth/myprovider (or the name of your provider) and you will be redirected to the oAuth login.
If everything works correctly, when you will be redirected to http://localhost:9090/auth/myprovider/callback, in your terminal you will see the content of the User struct populated (line fmt.Printf("%#v", gocial.User)).

PR

Now that everything works, you can open a Pull Request, it will be tested and if it works, it will be merged and added to the README.
