Playing with node.js + express + passport

Intro

This example is based on Jared Hanson's original example https://github.com/passport/express-4.x-facebook-example, for which I am immensely grateful!

This example demonstrates how to use Express 4.x and Passport to authenticate users using any number of provders.

It is mostly intended for my own education and testing of... well, various things.

Instructions

To install this example on your computer, clone the repository and install dependencies.

$ git clone git@github.com:dobriai/passport-express-demo.git
$ cd passport-express-demo
$ yarn # OR: npm install

The example uses environment variables to configure the consumer key and consumer secret needed to access Google's API. Start the server with those variables set to the appropriate credentials.

$ GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<your_app_id> GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your_app_secret> node server.js

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to see the example in action.
