A very simple demo of OAuth2.0 using node.js

A very simple demo of OAuth 2.0 using Node.js，to add GitHub login to your app and access GitHub API.

This demo is slightly modified from sohamkamani's node-oauth-example. More details in his blog (English) or my blog (Chinese).

Step one: register the app

Register the app on Github : https://github.com/settings/applications/new .

• "Application name" field, enter any name you like.
• "Homepage URL" field, enter "http://localhost:8080/ ".
• "callback URL" field, enter "http://localhost:8080/oauth/redirect ".

Once register, you will get a client ID and a client secret.

Step two: get the code

First, clone the repo.

$ git clone [e-mail]:ruanyf/node-oauth-demo.git
$ cd node-oauth-demo

Second, modify the config.

• index.js: replace the values of the clientID and clientSecret variables.
• public/index.html: replace the values of the client_id variable.

Third, install the dependencies.

$ npm install

Step three: run the server

Now, run the server.

$ node index.js

Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser, and click the link to login GitHub.
