Passport strategy for authenticating with Evernote using the OAuth 1.0a API.

This module lets you authenticate using Evernote in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Evernote authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Install

$ npm install passport-evernote

Usage

Create an Application

Before using passport-evernote, you must first get an Evernote API key. If you have not already done so, an API key can be requested at Evernote Developers. Your will be issued an API key and secret, which need to be provided to the strategy.

Configure Strategy

The Evernote authentication strategy authenticates users using an Evernote account and OAuth tokens. The API key secret obtained from Evernote are supplied as options when creating the strategy. The strategy also requires a verify callback, which receives the access token and corresponding secret as arguments, as well as profile which contains the authenticated user's Evernote profile. The verify callback must call cb providing a user to complete authentication.

passport.use(new EvernoteStrategy({
    consumerKey: EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumerSecret: EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/evernote/callback"
  },
  function(token, tokenSecret, profile, cb) {
    User.findOrCreate({ evernoteId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return cb(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

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

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/evernote',
  passport.authenticate('evernote'));

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

Examples

Developers using the popular Express web framework can refer to an example as a starting point for their own web applications. The example shows how to authenticate users using Twitter. However, because both Twitter and Evernote use OAuth 1.0, the code is similar. Simply replace references to Twitter with corresponding references to Evernote.

FAQ

How do I test against the Evernote sandbox?

Supply the sandbox endpoint URLs as options to the strategy, as follows:

new EvernoteStrategy({
  requestTokenURL: 'https://sandbox.evernote.com/oauth',
  accessTokenURL: 'https://sandbox.evernote.com/oauth',
  userAuthorizationURL: 'https://sandbox.evernote.com/OAuth.action',
  consumerKey: EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_KEY,
  consumerSecret: EVERNOTE_CONSUMER_SECRET,
  callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/evernote/callback"
}
