# Passport-Amazon

[Passport](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport) strategy for authenticating

with [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/) using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using Amazon in your Node.js applications.  By

plugging into Passport, Amazon authentication can be easily and unobtrusively

integrated into any application or framework that supports

[Connect](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/)-style middleware, including

[Express](http://expressjs.com/).

## Install

    $ npm install passport-amazon

## Usage

#### Configure Strategy

The Amazon authentication strategy authenticates users using an Amazon

account and OAuth 2.0 tokens.  The strategy requires a `verify` callback, which

accepts these credentials and calls `done` providing a user, as well as

`options` specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

The client ID and secret are obtained by registering an application at the

[Login with Amazon Developer Center](http://login.amazon.com/).

    passport.use(new AmazonStrategy({

        clientID: AMAZON_CLIENT_ID,

        clientSecret: AMAZON_CLIENT_SECRET,

        callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/amazon/callback"

      },

      function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {

        User.findOrCreate({ amazonId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {

          return done(err, user);

        });

      }

    ));

#### Authenticate Requests

Use `passport.authenticate()`, specifying the `'amazon'` strategy, to

authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an [Express](http://expressjs.com/)

application:

    app.get('/auth/amazon',

      passport.authenticate('amazon'));

    app.get('/auth/amazon/callback', 

      passport.authenticate('amazon', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),

      function(req, res) {

        // Successful authentication, redirect home.

        res.redirect('/');

      });

## Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the [login example](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-amazon/tree/master/examples/login).
