Passport strategies for authenticating with Yahoo! using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Yahoo! in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Yahoo! authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install yahoo-contacts
The Yahoo authentication strategy authenticates users using a Yahoo account
and OAuth tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts
these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options
specifying a consumer key, consumer secret, and callback URL.
passport.use(new YahooStrategy({
clientID: YAHOO_CONSUMER_KEY,
clientSecret: YAHOO_CONSUMER_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/yahoo/callback"
},
function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ yahooId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'yahoo' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/yahoo',
passport.authenticate('yahoo'));
app.get('/auth/yahoo/callback',
passport.authenticate('yahoo', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
