In my application, I'm trying to add loggin with facebook account. As I'm using passport for the moment with local strategy, I tried to add the facebook strategy. I registered on facebook developper site to have my token and secret. I simply copy/paste source code portions from the official passport github, adapting to my personal use. The problem occurs when calling
passport.authenticate('facebook');
I am stuck in here and not redirected to the facebook loggin page. My application is waiting for a reponse or waits to be redirected, but nothing happens. I tried to provide on the facebook developper page my callback URL, and I tried without it (passing the callback throw the passport strategy).
What am I missing ?
My application:
app.get('/auth/facebook', user_routes.facebookLogin);
app.get('/auth/facebook/callback', user_routes.facebookCallback);
My routes:
exports.facebookLogin = function(req, res, next) {
console.log('Try to login with facebook');
passport.authenticate('facebook'); //<---------------- does not go further than here
};
exports.facebookCallback = function(req, res, next){
passport.authenticate('facebook', {
successRedirect: '/home',
failureRedirect: '/login' });
};
My strategy:
passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
clientID: "xxxxxxxx",
clientSecret: "xxxxxxxxxxx",
callbackURL: "http://localhost:8080/auth/facebook/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOne({ username: profile.displayName, email: profile.emails[0].value }, function(err, olduser) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (olduser) {
return done(null, olduser);
}
else{
var newuser = new User({
username: profile.displayName,
email: profile.emails[0].value
}).save(function(err,newuser){
if(err) console.log(err);
done(null,newuser);
});
}
});
})
);
[EDIT]
Changing the routing for the callback to this solves my issue. However, I dont understand the reason why...
app.get('/auth/facebook/callback',
passport.authenticate('facebook', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
function(req, res) {
res.redirect('/home');
});
Finally found the solution here:
