Route to use for provider login is auth/:provider

Providers informations full access control

On some exemple about login with provider, we can use provider just for login. In this case you have full access control on providers informations.

How use it ?

// Auth Controller
// providerLogin Action

providerLogin: function(req, res) {

  // Set provider callback action
  // Value is [controller].[action] in this case i'm in auth controller and providerLogin action
  var session = {
    key: 'provider',
    value: 'auth.providerLogin'
  };
  sails.controllers.tools.setItemSession(req, session);

  // Set provider name
  var provider = req.param('provider');

  // Retrieve provider information
  sails.controllers.provider.getProviderProfile(req, res, provider)
  .then(function (provider_profile) {
    // Make what you want with provider_profile informations
  });
}
