Twitch (OAuth) authentication strategies using the new Twitch API for Passport.

Passport strategies for authenticating with Twitch using OAuth 2.0 on the New Twitch API.
This module lets you authenticate using Twitch in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Twitch authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express and Koa.
$ npm install passport-twitch-new
The Twitch OAuth 2.0 authentication strategy authenticates users using a Twitch
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 client ID, client secret, and callback URL.
var passport = require("passport");
var twitchStrategy = require("passport-twitch-new").Strategy;
passport.use(new twitchStrategy({
clientID: TWITCH_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitch/callback",
scope: "user_read"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ twitchId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the "twitch"
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get("/auth/twitch", passport.authenticate("twitch"));
app.get("/auth/twitch/callback", passport.authenticate("twitch", { failureRedirect: "/" }), function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect("/");
});
Optionally, the forceVerify
option can be set to true
to indicate
that the user should be re-prompted for authorization:
app.get("/auth/twitch", passport.authenticate("twitch", {forceVerify: true}));
var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var cookieParser = require("cookie-parser");
var cookieSession = require("cookie-session");
var passport = require("passport");
var twitchStrategy = require("passport-twitch").Strategy;
var app = express();
app.set("views", "./views");
app.set("view engine", "ejs");
// Middlewares
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(cookieSession({secret:"somesecrettokenhere"}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(express.static("./public"));
passport.use(new twitchStrategy({
clientID: "098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6",
clientSecret: "4eb20288afaed97e82bde371260db8d8",
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitch/callback",
scope: "user_read"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
// Suppose we are using mongo..
User.findOrCreate({ twitchId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user);
});
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
res.render("index");
});
app.get("/auth/twitch", passport.authenticate("twitch"));
app.get("/auth/twitch/callback", passport.authenticate("twitch", { failureRedirect: "/" }), function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect("/");
});
app.listen(3000);
