Passport-Twitter-2

Passport strategy for authenticating with Twitter API v2

Install

npm install passport-twitter-2

Usage

Configure Strategy

import { Strategy as TwitterStrategy } from 'passport-twitter-2';
passport.use(new TwitterStrategy({
    clientID: TWITTER_CLIENT_ID,
    appKey: TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/auth/twitter/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ twitter: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

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

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

Notes

For Node.js 18+ you can skip installing node-fetch with

npm i passport-twitter-2 --omit=optional

and use built-in fetch instead.
