box authentication strategy for Passport.
npm install passport-boxPassport strategy for authenticating
with box using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using box, in your Node.js applications.
By plugging into Passport, box
authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or
framework that supports Connect-style
middleware, including Express.
EXPRESS 4.x : Example is now compatible with expressjs 4
$ npm install passport-box
#### Configure Strategy
The box authentication strategy authenticates users using a box
account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which
accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well asoptions specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
passport.use(new BoxStrategy({
clientID: BOX_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: BOX_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/box/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ boxId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
#### Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'box' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express
application:
app.get('/auth/box',
passport.authenticate('box'));
app.get('/auth/box/callback',
passport.authenticate('box', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
For a complete, working example with Express 4, refer to the login example.
