Meteor Link Accounts

A Meteor package designed to links social network accounts without any hassles.

Goals

• Link additional social network accounts.
• Don't modify any Meteor core packages.
• Don't force users to add additional Meteor packages that they are not going to use.

Install

Install in Meteor with:

meteor add bozhao:link-accounts

Usage

Client side

Meteor.linkWith[ServiceName](options, callback)

You will call this on the page where you allow your users to connect to other services. This method will be triggered after they click the appropriate connect button.

options is expecting configuration object. Most often that is going to be: { loginStyle: 'popup' }

Server side

Accounts.unlinkService(userId, serviceName)

Given the userId and the name of the service (serviceName) as it is named in the user document (most often lower case name of the service).

Design notes:

1. Piggyback on existing Meteor oauth login system. Use login handler.

2. We do not allow link different account from same service for now. For example, you could not link with 2 different github accounts.

3. Save the linked service info on user.services, instead of creating new field on user object. This allow user logins the application from linked services.

4. Don't create a temporary user account and then merge it.
