Passport-Strava

Passport strategy for authenticating with Strava's API V3 using OAuth2.

I used Passport-github as the base for this repo. Really I just changed a few things, the real work was already done.

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

Install

$ npm install passport-strava

Usage

Create an Application

To use passport-strava you must register an application with Strava in the settings panel. You will be issued a client ID and a client secret to configure your strategy.

Configure Strategy

There are numerous examples available on setting up passport strategies:

• express-4.x-facebook-example - Simply replace the passport-facebook strategy with passport-strava and use your ID/secret for a working quickstart example.
• Passportjs.org documentation

Simple config example:

var StravaStrategy = require('passport-strava').Strategy;
 
passport.use(new StravaStrategy({
    clientID: STRAVA_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: STRAVA_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/strava/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, cb) {
    User.findOrCreate({ stravaId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return cb(err, user);
    });
  }
));

The returned profile object will contain the entire JSON response specified in Strava's api documentation.
