Advanced tools
Package description
The passport-strategy package provides an interface for implementing authentication strategies in Node.js applications using the Passport authentication middleware. It is designed to be subclassed by specific strategy implementations, which define how authentication is performed.
Strategy Interface Creation
This code demonstrates how to create a custom authentication strategy by extending the base Strategy class provided by passport-strategy. Developers can implement their own authenticate method to define the authentication process.
const passport = require('passport-strategy');
class CustomStrategy extends passport.Strategy {
constructor(verify) {
super();
this.name = 'custom';
this._verify = verify;
}
authenticate(req, options) {
// Custom authentication logic here
}
}Implements a local authentication strategy using a username and password. It is more specific compared to passport-strategy, which is a generic interface for any type of authentication.
Implements an OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy, providing mechanisms to authenticate with third-party services. It contrasts with passport-strategy by focusing specifically on OAuth 2.0 protocol.
Provides strategies for authenticating with HTTP mechanisms such as Basic and Digest authentication. Unlike passport-strategy, which is a framework, passport-http offers concrete implementations for these HTTP authentication methods.
Readme
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.
Create a new CustomStrategy constructor which inherits from Strategy:
var util = require('util')
, Strategy = require('passport-strategy');
function CustomStrategy(...) {
Strategy.call(this);
}
util.inherits(CustomStrategy, Strategy);
Implement autheticate(), performing the necessary operations required by the
authentication scheme or protocol being implemented.
CustomStrategy.prototype.authenticate = function(req, options) {
// TODO: authenticate request
}
$ npm install
$ npm test
