test branch to demonstrate wrong session.

Note we're running in production mode (one server), there is no dev mode.

setup

Make sure you have mongo running locally.

1. clone repo and switch to local-prod-test branch

• git clone https://github.com/nikrb/cra-passport-twitter.git
• cd cra-passport-twitter
• git checkout local-prod-test

2. run mongo locally
3. copy .env.sample to .env (optionally provide your own mongo/twitter app credentials)

• cp .env.sample .env

3. install client packages

• cd client
• yarn or npm install

4. install server packages (if install fails on node pre gyp, workaround is to install node-gyp first)

• cd ..
• yarn or npm install

5. build client

• cd client
• yarn build or npm build

6. run server

• cd ..
• node server

7. browse to localhost:5000

view problem

1. click twitter login
2. authorize app
3. click authed? button

• console displays user not authenticated

Overview

This repo is a work in progress. Uses base template and adds in twitter auth using passport.

To get the anchor tag href link through to the back end specify the full url and add the rel external attribute:

<a rel="external" href="http://localhost:5000/auth/login/twitter" >Login in with Twitter</a>

This works great with the development version, but not with the production version. The difference is the dev version uses react-scripts to run webpack-dev-server on port 3000 and the backend server runs on 5000. The production version just uses one port (on 5000) and the rel external attribute doesn't seem to work as the react-router-dom.BrowserRouter redirects us to the homepage using the cache app (from service worker)

So far I can only get production to work by removing the service worker/registration.

TODO:

1. get it to work with the service worker of course
2. add the passport-local functionality back in
3. integrate the twitter login to work along side local login

React Auth Base

• mongodb & mongoose
• passport.js (passport-local)

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Following vlad's authentication blog
