Passport-Hash
Passport strategy for authenticating with a hash parameter provided by link.
This module lets you authenticate using a hash parameter provided by link in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, hash authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Installation
$ npm install passport-hash
Usage
Configure Strategy
The hash authentication strategy authenticates users using a hash link. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts this
hash and calls done providing a user.
passport.use(new HashStrategy(
function(hash, done) {
User.findOne({ hash: hash }, function (err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) { return done(null, false); }
if (!user.isUnconfirmed()) { return done(null, false); }
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'hash' strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/confirm/:hash',
passport.authenticate('hash', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
});
Examples
For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
