Passport-Dropbox-Business

Passport strategy for authenticating with Dropbox for Business using the OAuth 2.0 API.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-dropbox-business

Usage

Configure Strategy

The Dropbox authentication strategy authenticates users using a Dropbox Admin account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a API version, client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new DropboxOAuth2Strategy({
    apiVersion: '2',
    clientID: DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: DROPBOX_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "https://www.example.net/auth/dropbox-business/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ providerId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'dropbox-business' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/dropbox',
  passport.authenticate('dropbox-business'));

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