Passport strategy for authenticating with Canvas using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Canvas in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Canvas authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
$ npm install passport-canvas
The Canvas authentication strategy authenticates users using a Canvas 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.
passport.use(new CanvasStrategy({
host: CANVAS_HOST,
clientID: CANVAS_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: CANVAS_CLIENT_SECRET,
callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/canvas/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOrCreate({ canvasId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
return done(err, user);
});
}
));
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'canvas' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/canvas',
passport.authenticate('canvas', { }));
app.get('/auth/canvas/callback',
passport.authenticate('canvas', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
// Successful authentication, redirect home.
res.redirect('/');
});
