Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Google OpenID Connect authentication strategy for Passport.

Readme

Passport-Google-OpenID Connect

Passport strategy for authenticating with Google OpenID Connect.

This module lets you authenticate using Google OpenID Connect in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Google OpenID Connect authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Install

$ npm install passport-google-openidconnect

Usage for non Google+

Configure Strategy

The Google OpenIDConnect authentication strategy authenticates users using a Google account and OpenIDConnect tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

var StrategyGoogle = require('passport-google-openidconnect').Strategy;
passport.use(new StrategyGoogle({
    clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/google/callback"
  },
  function(iss, sub, profile, accessToken, refreshToken, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ googleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'google-openidconnect' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/google',
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect'));

app.get('/auth/google/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Usage for Google+

Configure Strategy

The Google OpenIDConnect authentication strategy authenticates users using a Google account and OpenIDConnect tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

var StrategyGoogle = require('passport-google-openidconnect').Strategy;
passport.use(new StrategyGoogle({
    clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/google/callback",
    userInfoURL: "https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me"
  },
  function(iss, sub, profile, accessToken, refreshToken, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ googleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'google-openidconnect' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/google',
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect'));

app.get('/auth/google/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Extended Permissions(more scope)

If you need extended permissions from the user, the permissions can be requested via the scope option to passport.authenticate().

For example, this authorization requests permission to the user's statuses and checkins:

app.get('/auth/google',
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect', { scope: ['email', 'profile'] }));

You doesn't need to contain the scope of openid, added by this module automatically

Usage for non Google+ and only openid

Configure Strategy

The Google OpenIDConnect authentication strategy authenticates users using a Google account and OpenIDConnect tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

var StrategyGoogle = require('passport-google-openidconnect').Strategy;
passport.use(new StrategyGoogle({
    clientID: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/google/callback",
    skipUserProfile: true // doesn't fetch user profile
  },
  function(iss, sub, profile, accessToken, refreshToken, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ googleId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'google-openidconnect' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/google',
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect'));

app.get('/auth/google/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('google-openidconnect', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Revoke AccessToken

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/google/revoke', function(req, res, next) {
  var user_accessToken = FETCH_FROM_DB_OR_SESSION;
  var strategy = req._passport.instance._strategy('google-openidconnect');
  strategy.revoke( { accessToken: user_accessToken }, function(err, body, res) {
    next();
  });
});
