Angel List

AngelList wrapper purely written in Node.js

Getting Started

Wrapper can be downloaded from npm:

npm install angel.co --save

Once installed, its easy to use it:

var angel = require('angel.co')('APP_ID', 'APP_SECRET');

Please follow the documentation from https://angel.co/api/

Authentication

Module includes ability to let the user authenticate from AngelList. For now, its hard coded and asks for all ther permissions but you can change sa you like ;-)

Below example has been implemented with Express.js you may modify it.

app.get('/auth/angel-list', function(req, res) {
    res.redirect(angel.getAuthorizeUrl());
});
 
app.get('/auth/angel-list/callback', function(req, res) {
    angel.auth.requestAccessToken(req.query.code, function(err, response) {
        if ( err )
            return console.error(err); //Something went wrong.
            
        // I got the Token. Ain't you?
        app.set('my_key_to_token', response.access_token); // Persist it anywhere.
        res.redirect('/'); // Go back to the homepage.
    });
});

PS: Your callback url must be similar to what you have configured while creating an app on AngelList.

Issues / Bugs

Please feel free to open a new issue ticket if any occures. I love pull requests so they are also welcome. Before making it out the issue, please verify the required arguments / parameters from AngelList api source.

HotCake TODOs

These are the most important TODOs that are supposed to be done. If you can make pull request, I'd love to accept it (if it really has to).

  • Create Jasmine / Mocha test cases to validate each of the service.
  • Few workable examples might be there to even make it more verbose.
  • Code Cleanup. I hate dirt but sometimes has to do!
  • Jobs Service. (Its useless for my current scenerio but welcome pull request for it).
  • You call it!
