Node AppleAuth
Node AppleAuth is a lightweight, easy to use, novelty utilization of iCloud's login API for simple user authentication.
Installation
npm install node-appleauth --save
const appleAuth = require('node-appleauth')
Usage
Calling a new appleAuth object takes three arguments (username, password, callback) and will return a user data object in the following format to the callback:
{"name":"Elliot Alderson","email":"elliot.alderson@allsafe.com"}
With Await/Async
const express = require('express');
appleAuth = require('node-appleauth');
bodyParser = require('body-parser');
//Some templating engine, session module, and database probably should go here
app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:false}));
//Some of your favorite middleware goes here
function iAuth(username, password){
let userData;
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
new appleAuth(username, password, function(err, response){
if(err){
userData = err;
}
else{
userData = response;
}
resolve(userData);
});
});
}
app.get('/', (req, res) => {res.render('login')});
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
async function checkAuth(username, password){
let userData = await iAuth(username, password);
//Save the user to a database, retrieve the user from a database, start a session, redirect, or do whatver you want from here.
res.end(JSON.stringify(userData)); //or be lazy and just display the data.
}
checkAuth(req.body.username, req.body.password);
});
const port = 3000 || process.env.port;
app.listen(port, function(){console.log(`Listening on port: ${port}`)});Without Await/Async
const express = require('express');
appleAuth = require('node-appleauth');
bodyParser = require('body-parser');
//Some templating engine, session module, and database probably should go here
app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:false}));
//Some of your favorite middleware goes here
app.get('/', (req, res) => {res.render('login')});
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
new appleAuth(req.body.username, req.body.password, function(err, data){
if(err){
console.log('error');
res.end(String(err));
}else{
res.end(JSON.stringify(data));
}
});
});
