Sign in with Unsplash for Passport JS

Passport Strategy for the sign in with Unsplash, with profile information ✅!

Installation

Install the package via npm / yarn: npm install --save unsplash-passport

You will also need to install & configure body-parser if using Express: npm install --save body-parser

const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

Next, you need to configure your Unsplash Developer account by creating OAuth applications here: https://unsplash.com/developers

Usage

The Unsplash authentication strategy authenticates users via Unsplash user account and OAuth 2.0 token(s). An Unsplash API Client ID, secret and redirect URL must be supplied when using this strategy. The strategy also requires a verify callback, which receives the access token and an optional refresh token, as well as a profile which contains the authenticated Unsplash user's profile. The verify callback must also call cb or done providing a user to complete the authentication.

Initialize the strategy as follows:

const UnsplasgStrategy = require('unsplash-passport').Strategy;
let scopes = ['public', 'read_user'];
passport.use(new UnsplashStrategy({
    clientID: "",
    clientSecret: "",
    callbackURL: "",
    scope: scopes
}, function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    // asynchronous verification, for effect...
    process.nextTick(function () {
    return done(null, profile);
}));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the unsplash strategy, to authenticate requests.

On successful authentication, add the callback route and handle the response.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/unsplash', passport.authenticate('unsplash'));

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

Examples

Developers using the popular Express web framework can refer to an example as a starting point for their own web applications.
