olinapps

node-olinapps

npm install olinapps

In the top of your file:

var olinapps = require('olinapps');

In your express app, right after your app.configure:

/**
 * Authentication
 */
 
app.post('/login', olinapps.login);
app.all('/logout', olinapps.logout);
app.all('/*', olinapps.middleware);
app.all('/api/*', olinapps.loginRequiredJSON); // (optional) login required, no redirect, returns 401
app.all('/*', olinapps.loginRequired);

Remove the loginRequired line if logging in is optional. Then in any route:

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  var user = olinapps.user(req);
  console.log(user);
  // ...
})

Yields:

{ id: 'timothy.ryan',
  created: 1354933883,
  domain: 'students.olin.edu',
  username: 'timothy.ryan',
  email: '[e-mail]' }

app.get('/me', function (req, res) {
  olinapps.directory.me(req, function (err, json) {
    res.json(json);
  });
});

app.get('/people', function (req, res) {
  olinapps.directory.people(req, function (err, json) {
    res.json(json);
  });
});

app.get('/list', function (req, res) {

    res.json(messages);
