Passport-Mercadolibre

Passport strategy for authenticating with MercadoLibre using the OAuth 2.0 API.

Learn more about MercadoLibre OAuth schema here.

Installation

$ npm install passport-mercadolibre

Configuration

The Mercadolibre authentication strategy authenticates users using a Mercadolibre 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.

You can obtain the client ID and secret by creating a MercadoLibre app here.

var MercadoLibreStrategy = require('passport-mercadolibre').Strategy;

passport.use(new MercadoLibreStrategy({
    clientID: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
    callbackURL: 'http://www.example.com/auth/mercadolibre/callback',
  },
  function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    // + store/retrieve user from database, together with access token and refresh token
    return done(null, profile);
  }
));

passport.serializeUser(function (user, done) {
  done(null, user);
});

passport.deserializeUser(function (user, done) {
  done(null, user);
});

Usage

Use passport.authorize(), specifying the 'mercadolibre' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/mercadolibre',
  passport.authorize('mercadolibre'));

app.get('/auth/mercadolibre/callback',
  passport.authorize('mercadolibre', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

app.get('/', ensureAuthenticated,
  function(req, res) {
    res.send("Logged in user: " + req.user.nickname);
  }
);

function ensureAuthenticated(req, res, next) {
  if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
    return next();
  };
  res.redirect('/auth/mercadolibre');
};

The properties available in the user object are:

• provider --> mercadolibre
• nickname
• first_name
• last_name
• email
• accessToken

But you can get more information (a lot more!) accessing the raw user profile as provided by MercadoLibre:

• _raw --> raw server response
• _json --> JSON object with server response
