Passport strategy for authenticating with custom logic.
This module lets you authenticate using custom logic in your Node.js applications. It is based on passport-local module by Jared Hanson. By plugging into Passport, custom authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-custom The custom authentication strategy authenticates users by custom logic of your choosing. The strategy requires a verify callback, which is where the custom logic goes and calls done providing a user. Note that, req is always passed as the first parameter to the verify callback.
Here is the pseudo code:
import passportCustom from 'passport-custom'; const CustomStrategy = passportCustom.Strategy; passport.use('strategy-name', new CustomStrategy( {}, function(req, callback) { // Do your custom user finding logic here, or set to false based on req object callback(null, user); } ));And a basic example:
passport.use(new CustomStrategy( function(req, done) { User.findOne({ username: req.body.username }, function (err, user) { done(err, user); }); } ));Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'custom' strategy (or whatever you named the strategy upon registration), to authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.post('/login', passport.authenticate('custom', { failureRedirect: '/login' }), function(req, res) { res.redirect('/'); } );$ npm install $ npm test Copyright (c) 2014-2015 Mike Bell
