This weekend I was tasked with building a login system using passport.js's facebook strategy. Sure it was going to be easy...
Issue was that Facebook dev now enforces 'HTTPS' so you need a self signed SSL certificate for localhost:3000 or whatever port you're using.
Pretty easy.... (till you're in production mode and you realize why your pet has a happier life than you)๐๐ถ๐นโจ๏ธ
In Express v.4 The bin directory serves is where you define your startup scripts. The 'www' file contains code to start your express app as a web server. So 'app' is passed as a handler to your web server. If using express generator with "$ npm install express-generator -g" a template with the bin directory and 'www' file is created for you.
In your terminal:
//Note: you will be presented with lots of options. Be sure to fill the Common Name option as localhost
$ openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.cert
//convert cert and key to PEM Files
$ openssl x509 -in server.cert -out cert.pem -outform PEM
$cat server.cert server.key > key.pem
copy both cert.pem and key.pem in project directory. And then in 'www' within your bin directory, you will need to reference your certificate
/**
* Module dependencies.
*/
const app = require('../app');
const debug = require('debug')('node-passport-social:server');
const http = require('https');
const fs = require("fs");
/**
* Get port from environment and store in Express.
*/
const port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '3000');
app.set('port', port);
/**
* Create HTTPS server.
*/
const privateKey = fs.readFileSync('./key.pem');
const certificate = fs.readFileSync('./cert.pem');
const server = http.createServer({
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate
}, app);
/**
* Listen on provided port, on all network interfaces.
*/
server.listen(port);
server.on('error', onError);
server.on('listening', onListening);
/**
* Normalize a port into a number, string, or false.
*/
function normalizePort(val) {
var port = parseInt(val, 10);
if (isNaN(port)) {
// named pipe
return val;
}
if (port >= 0) {
// port number
return port;
}
return false;
}
/**
* Event listener for HTTP server "error" event.
*/
function onError(error) {
if (error.syscall !== 'listen') {
throw error;
}
const bind = typeof port === 'string'
? 'Pipe ' + port
: 'Port ' + port;
// handle specific listen errors with friendly messages
switch (error.code) {
case 'EACCES':
console.error(bind + ' requires elevated privileges');
process.exit(1);
break;
case 'EADDRINUSE':
console.error(bind + ' is already in use');
process.exit(1);
break;
default:
throw error;
}
}
/**
* Event listener for HTTP server "listening" event.
*/
function onListening() {
const addr = server.address();
const bind = typeof addr === 'string'
? 'pipe ' + addr
: 'port ' + addr.port;
debug('Listening on ' + bind);
}
And then in your browser open https:localhost:3000
