Project Summary

In this project, we'll continue to use passport, but instead use the GitHub provider this time. We'll use the same Default App from the mini project earlier and modify it to accept the GitHub provider. We'll also gain some experience and exposure using technical documentation.

At the end of this project, you'll have a fully-working node back end that can authorize with GitHub and retrieve a list of followers for the authorized GitHub user.

Setup

Fork and clone this repository.
cd into the project directory.
Run npm install to get the provided dependencies.

Step 1

Summary

In this step, we'll modify the Default App on manage.auth0.com to accept the GitHub provider.

Instructions

Go to manage.auth0.com and login to the account you created in the mini project from earlier.
Using the left navigation bar, click on connections and then click on social.
Turn on the GitHub slider.
Under Permissions select read:user.
At the top of the same modal, click on Clients.
Turn on the slider for the Default App.

Step 2

Summary

In this step, we'll use npm to get the required passport dependencies.

Instructions

Install and save passport and passport-auth0.

Solution

NPM Install

npm install --save passport passport-auth0

Step 3

Summary

In this step, we'll create a config.js and strategy.js file. config.js will be responsible for storing our client's id, domain, and secret. We'll use .gitignore on this file so GitHub can't see it. strategy.js will be responsible for creating and exporting a new Auth0Strategy that uses the values from config.js.

Instructions

Create a config.js.
Open config.js.
Use module.exports to export an object with a domain, clientID, and clientSecret property.
- The values of these properties should equal the values on manage.auth0.com for Default App.
Add config.js to .gitignore.
Create a strategy.js.
Open strategy.js.
Require passport-auth0 in a Auth0Strategy variable.
Require config.js.
Use module.exports to export a new Auth0Strategy.
- The values for domain, clientID, and clientSecret should be taken from config.js.
- Set the callback URL to '/login'.

Detailed Instructions

Let's begin by creating a config.js file. The reason we are making this file is so that GitHub doesn't publicly display our sensitive information on manage.auth0.com. You never want to push a secret up to GitHub and if you ever do, always immediately refresh your secret. In the config.js file use module.exports to export an object.

module.exports = {

};

We can then add our information from manage.auth0.com into a domain, clientID, and clientSecret property. ( replace the dots with your actual information )

module.exports = {
  domain: '...',
  clientID: '...',
  clientSecret: '...'
};

Then, we can add this file to our .gitignore so we don't accidentally push it to GitHub. After it has been added, let's move on to creating a strategy.js file. This file will allow us to create a strategy without bulking our index.js file. To begin, let's import passport-auth0 into a variable called Auth0Strategy and import config.js into a variable called config. I will also destructure config for easy referencing, however this step is not required.

const Auth0Strategy = require('passport-auth0');
const config = require(`${__dirname}/config.js`);
const { domain, clientID, clientSecret } = config;

Now we can use module.exports to export a new Auth0Strategy that uses the credentials from config.js and calls back to '/login'.

const Auth0Strategy = require('passport-auth0');
const config = require(`${__dirname}/config.js`);
const { domain, clientID, clientSecret } = config;

module.exports = new Auth0Strategy({
   domain:       domain,
   clientID:     clientID,
   clientSecret: clientSecret,
   callbackURL:  '/login'
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile, done) {
    return done(null, profile);
  }
);

Solution

config.js

module.exports = {
  domain:       '...',
  clientID:     '...',
  clientSecret: '...',
};

strategy.js

const Auth0Strategy = require('passport-auth0');
const config = require(`${__dirname}/config.js`);
const { domain, clientID, clientSecret } = config;

module.exports = new Auth0Strategy({
   domain:       domain,
   clientID:     clientID,
   clientSecret: clientSecret,
   callbackURL:  '/login'
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile, done) {
    // accessToken is the token to call Auth0 API (not needed in the most cases)
    // extraParams.id_token has the JSON Web Token
    // profile has all the information from the user
    return done(null, profile);
  }
);

Step 3

Summary

In this step, we'll require strategy.js, configure the app to use sessions, initialize passport, configure passport to use sessions, and have passport use our strategy from strategy.js.

Instructions

Open index.js.
Require passport in a variable called passport.
Require strategy.js in a variable called strategy.
Configure the app to use sessions.
- Hint: secret, resave, and saveUninitialized.
Initialize passport.
Configure passport to use sessions.
Configure passport to use our strategy from strategy.js.

Solution

index.js

const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const strategy = require(`${__dirname}/strategy.js`);

const app = express();
app.use( session({
  secret: '@nyth!ng y0u w@nT',
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: false
}));
app.use( passport.initialize() );
app.use( passport.session() );
passport.use( strategy );

const port = 3000;
app.listen( port, () => { console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`); } );

Step 4

Summary

In this step, we'll configure passport's serializeUser and deserializeUser methods.

Instructions

Open index.js.
Call passport.serializeUser.
- Pass in a function as the first argument.
- The function should have two parameters: user and done.
- The function should call done and with an object that only has the clientID, email, name, and followers_url from user._json as the first arugment.
Call passport.deserializeUser.
- Pass in a function as the first argument.
- The function should have two parameters: obj and done.
- The functions should just call done and pass in obj as the first argument.

Detailed Instructions

Let's begin by opening index.js. After passport.use( strategy ) let's add passport.serializeUser and passport.deserializeUser. These methods get called after a successful login and before the success redirect. According to the passport documentation, you use serializeUser to pick what properties you want from the returned user object and you use deserializeUser to execute any necessary logic on the new version of the user object. By new version of the user object, I mean that when you call done(null, {}) in serializeUser the value of that object then becomes the value of the obj parameter in deserializeUser.

passport.serializeUser( (user, done) => {

});

passport.deserializeUser( (obj, done) => {

});

Since we only want the clientID, email, name, and followers_url from user._json we'll call done with a new object instead of the entire user object. Remember, we pick what properties we want in serializeUser.

passport.serializeUser( (user, done) => {
  const { _json } = user;
  done(null, { clientID: _json.clientID, email: _json.email, name: _json.name, followers: _json.followers_url });
});

This new object will then be passed on to deserializeUser when done is invoked. Since we don't have any additional logic to execute, simply call done with null and obj.

passport.deserializeUser( (obj, done) => {
  done( null, obj );
});

Solution

index.js

const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const strategy = require(`${__dirname}/strategy.js`);

const app = express();
app.use( session({
  secret: '@nyth!ng y0u w@nT',
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: false
}));
app.use( passport.initialize() );
app.use( passport.session() );
passport.use( strategy );

passport.serializeUser( (user, done) => {
  const { _json } = user;
  done(null, { clientID: _json.clientID, email: _json.email, name: _json.name, followers: _json.followers_url });
});

passport.deserializeUser( (obj, done) => {
  done(null, obj);
});

const port = 3000;
app.listen( port, () => { console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`); } );

Step 5

Summary

In this step, we'll create a /login endpoint that will use passport to authenticate with GitHub.

Instructions

Open index.js.
Create a GET endpoint at /login that calls passport.authenticate.
- The success redirect should equal '/followers'
  - We'll create this endpoint later.
- The failure redirect should equal '/login'.
- Failure flash should be enabled.
- The connection should be forced to use 'GitHub'.
  - Hint: You can force passport's connection by using a connection property.

Detailed Instructions

Now that passport is completely setup and ready to handle authentication let's create a '/login' endpoint in index.js.

app.get('/login');

We'll want to call passport.authenticate and pass in a strategy type and configuration object. The strategy type will be 'auth0' since we are using an auth0 strategy.

app.get('/login',
  passport.authenticate('auth0', 
    { }
  )
)

Then, in the configuration object we can specify the success and failure redirects, turn failure flash on, and force the connection type to GitHub. We can do all of these by using the following properties in the configuration object: successRedirect, failureRedirect, failureFlash, and connection. The success redirect should go to '/followers'; The failure redirect should go to '/login'; Failure flash should be set to true; The connection should be set to 'github'.

app.get( '/login',
  passport.authenticate('auth0', 
    { successRedirect: '/followers', failureRedirect: '/login', failureFlash: true, connection: 'github' }
  )
);

Solution

index.js

const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const strategy = require(`${__dirname}/strategy.js`);

const app = express();
app.use( session({
  secret: '@nyth!ng y0u w@nT',
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: false
}));
app.use( passport.initialize() );
app.use( passport.session() );
passport.use( strategy );

passport.serializeUser( (user, done) => {
  const { _json } = user;
  done(null, { clientID: _json.clientID, email: _json.email, name: _json.name, followers: _json.followers_url });
});

passport.deserializeUser( (obj, done) => {
  done(null, obj);
});

app.get( '/login',
  passport.authenticate('auth0', 
    { successRedirect: '/followers', failureRedirect: '/login', failureFlash: true, connection: 'github' }
  )
);

const port = 3000;
app.listen( port, () => { console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`); } );

Step 6

Summary

In this step, you'll be required to read documentation on GitHub's API and the documentation for the request package. There won't be any detailed instructions on this step. The goal of this step is to expose you to having to read online documentation to figure out how certain technologies work.

Instructions

Open index.js.
Use NPM to install and save request.
Require request.
Create a GET endpoint at /followers.
- This endpoint should check to see if req.user exists.
  - If it does, use request to get a list of followers for the currently logged in user. Then return the response body from request.
  - It it doesn't, redirect to '/login'.

Solution

index.js

const express = require('express');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const request = require('request');
const strategy = require(`${__dirname}/strategy.js`);

const app = express();
app.use( session({
  secret: '@nyth!ng y0u w@nT',
  resave: false,
  saveUninitialized: false
}));
app.use( passport.initialize() );
app.use( passport.session() );
passport.use( strategy );

passport.serializeUser( (user, done) => {
  const { _json } = user;
  done(null, { clientID: _json.clientID, email: _json.email, name: _json.name, followers: _json.followers_url });
});

passport.deserializeUser( (obj, done) => {
  done(null, obj);
});

app.get( '/login',
  passport.authenticate('auth0', 
    { successRedirect: '/followers', failureRedirect: '/login', failureFlash: true, connection: 'github' }
  )
);

app.get('/followers', ( req, res, next ) => {
  if ( req.user ) {
    const FollowersRequest = {
      url: req.user.followers,
      headers: {
        'User-Agent': req.user.clientID
      }
    };

    request(FollowersRequest, ( error, response, body ) => {
      res.status(200).send(body);
    });
  } else {
    res.redirect('/login');
  }
});

const port = 3000;
app.listen( port, () => { console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`); } );

Step 7

Summary

In this step, we'll test the API and see if we can get an array of followers.

Instructions

Open a browser and go to http://localhost:3000/login.
If you have no errors, try to complete the Black Diamond!

Solution

Black Diamond

Create a React front end that takes the array of followers and displays it in a list of Follower components.
- A Follower component should look like a user's information card.
- It should display a follower's avatar_url, html_url, and login ( aka their username ).
Use express.static to server the React front end.
