I am using passportjs for facebook authentication. Here is my facebook strategy:
passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
clientID: config.facebook.clientID,
clientSecret: config.facebook.clientSecret,
callbackURL: config.facebook.callbackURL
}, function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
User.findOne({ 'facebook.id': profile.id }, function (err, user) {
if (err) { return done(err); }
if (!user) {
user = new User({
name: profile.displayName,
email: profile.emails[0].value,
username: profile.username,
provider: 'facebook',
facebook: profile._json
});
user.save(function (err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
}
return done(err, user);
});
} else {
return done(err, user);
}
});
}));
I added the following routes:
app.get('/facebook/auth', passport.authenticate('facebook', { scope: [ 'email', 'user_about_me', 'publish_actions']}), function(req, res) { });
// I need the following fix due to this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17015836/289246
app.get('/facebook/auth/callback', function(req, res, next) {
if (req.query && !req.query.error && req.query.error_code) {
req.query.error = true;
}
next();
},
passport.authenticate('facebook', { failureRedirect: '/facebook-auth-failure', successRedirect: '/auth-success', failureFlash: true })
);
app.get('/facebook-auth-failure', users.authFailure);
app.get('/auth-success', users.authSuccess);
My users.authFailure method is:
exports.authFailure = function (req, res) {
var error = ???
// How can I get here the error message??
res.render('auth-failure', {
error: error || 'An error has accured'
});
};
In case of facebook authentication failure, how can I get the error message (I want to display it to the user)?
