GitHub Auth Routes

Helpful authentication routes for Node.js GitHub integrations

Install

$ npm install auth-routes

Usage

const { registerAuthRoutes } = require("auth-routes");

const app = express();
registerAuthRoutes(app, {
  client_id: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,
});

// Or pass some options:
