Here is an example of a configuration:

{
  "strategies": {
    "facebook": {
      "passportStrategy": "facebook",
      "credentials": {
        "clientID": "<your-client-id>",
        "clientSecret": "<your-client-secret>",
        "callbackURL": "http://localhost:7512/_login/facebook",
        "profileFields": ["id", "name", "picture", "email", "gender"]
      },
      "persist": [
        "picture.data.url",
        "last_name",
        "first_name",
        "email"
      ],
      "scope": [
        "email",
        "public_profile"
      ],
      "kuzzleAttributesMapping": {
        "userMail": "email" // will store the attribute "email" as "userEmail" into the user credentials object
      },
      "identifierAttribute": "email"
    }
  },
  "defaultProfiles": [
    "default"
  ]
}

identifierAttribute

This attribute will be used to identify your users. It has to be unique.

You need to choose an attribute declared in the persist array.

Attribute persistence

Attributes declared in the persist array will be persisted in the credentials object and not in the user content.

For example, if you have the following configuration:

{
  "strategies": {
    "facebook": {
      "persist": ["email", "first_name", "picture.data.url"],
      "kuzzleAttributesMapping": {
        "picture.data.url": "avatar_url"
      }
    }
  }
}

And your OAuth provider will send you the following _json payload:

{
  "email": "gfreeman@black-mesa.xen",
  "first_name": "gordon",
  "last_name": "freeman",
  "picture": {
    "data": {
      "url": "http://avatar.url"
    }
  }
}

The created user content will be:

{
  "content": {
    "profileIds": ["default"]
  },
  "credentials": {
    "facebook": {
      "email": "gfreeman@black-mesa.xen",
      "first_name": "gordon",
      "avatar_url": "http://avatar.url"
    }
  }
}

Usage

The easiest way to implement an oauth authentication in your front-end is to use the sdk login oauth popup module
