An abstract class implementing Passport's strategy
API.
$ npm install passport-strategy
This module exports an abstract Strategy class that is intended to be
subclassed when implementing concrete authentication strategies. Once
implemented, such strategies can be used by applications that utilize Passport
middleware for authentication.
#### Subclass Strategy
Create a new CustomStrategy constructor which inherits from Strategy:
``javascript
var util = require('util')
, Strategy = require('passport-strategy');
function CustomStrategy(...) {
Strategy.call(this);
}
util.inherits(CustomStrategy, Strategy);
`
#### Implement Authentication
Implement autheticate(), performing the necessary operations required by the
authentication scheme or protocol being implemented.
`javascript``
CustomStrategy.prototype.authenticate = function(req, options) {
// TODO: authenticate request
}
$ npm install
$ npm test
