This is a fork of passport-twitter with default support for email access
Passport strategy for authenticating with Twitter using the OAuth 1.0a API.
This module lets you authenticate using Twitter in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Twitter authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-twitter
The Twitter authentication strategy authenticates users using a Twitter account
and OAuth tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which receives the
access token and corresponding secret as arguments, as well as profile which
contains the authenticated user's Twitter profile. The verify callback must
call done providing a user to complete authentication.
In order to identify your application to Twitter, specify the consumer key,
consumer secret, and callback URL within options. The consumer key and secret
are obtained by creating an application at
Twitter's developer site.
passport.use(new TwitterStrategy({
consumerKey: TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
consumerSecret: TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitter/callback"
},
function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ twitterId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'twitter' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/twitter',
passport.authenticate('twitter'));
app.get('/auth/twitter/callback',
passport.authenticate('twitter', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
Developers using the popular Express web framework can refer to an example as a starting point for their own web applications.
