Express middleware aimed to make SSO with Disqus a little easier.
It does not replaces all the code you need to implement SSO with Disqus in your web app, it just tries to provide a more elegant solution to the backend code. See the Disqus docs for more information.
npm install --save disqus-sso-express
In the following example we are using passport to handle authentication via Twitter OAuth server. You can use
the authentication method you want, but have in mind that disqus-sso-express middleware expects to have an
object in the req.user property.
// Get `express` instance
var app = express()
// Require disqus-sso-express module and instantiate it with your API credentials
var disqus = require('disqus-sso-express')({
publicKey: 'your disqus public key',
secret: 'your disqus secret'
})
// Login route. A `req.user` object should be generated before putting the `disqus.login` middleware
app.get('/auth/github/callback',
passport.authenticate('github'),
disqus.login,
redirect);
// Logout route
app.get('/logout',
disqus.logout,
function (req, res, next) {
res.redirect('/');
