I an new for passport.js.
I am using it to authenticate and getting Gmail contacts,for getting the contacts I need to pass scope value this https://www.google.com/m8/feeds.But I didn't get the contact list except profile details.
Here is my code stuff:
//register with google
app.get('/auth/google', passport.authenticate('google', { scope : ['profile', 'email','https://www.google.com/m8/feeds'] }));
// the callback after google has authenticated the user
app.get('/auth/google/callback', passport.authenticate('google', {
successRedirect : '/user/dashboard',
failureRedirect : '/register.html'
}));
And my passport.js code:
passport.use(new GoogleStrategy1({
consumerKey: config.auth.googleAuth.clientID,
consumerSecret: config.auth.googleAuth.clientSecret,
callbackURL: config.auth.googleAuth.callbackURL
},
function(token, tokenSecret, profile, done) {
console.log(profile);
return done(err, user);
}
));
When I print profile I am getting only user details not contact list.
I don't have idea, what I do for getting that.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You.
The following steps are used to get the Gmail contacts
1- To communicate with any Google API we need to create an account on Google console https://console.developers.google.com/project
2- After that create a project, which we want to communicate with Google API, after creating project Google provides secret key and client key which is used to communicate with Google. These keys are required whenever our application try to communicate with any Google API.
3- For getting the Gmail contacts, Google provides the API https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?alt=json&oauth_token=xxxxxx
4- We only need to call this API for getting the contacts, and this API takes some credential before communicating.
5- The users must have logged in with Google and have token number which used by API to get the user’s contacts.
6- We are using passport Google strategy to log in with Google. And our half of the things are done by Passport.js like authentication with Google and token number.
7- When user login with Google, the Passport.js plays a role as a middleware for successful login and during that, passport provides token number of current user. And that time we are calling the contacts API https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?alt=json&oauth_token=xxxxxx And easily we can get the token number, and the token created by Google expires after one hour, but we should not worry about that, since passport internally provides new token number provided by Google.
Hope it will work for you.
