AngularJS — Superheroic JavaScript MVW Framework. Passport. Passport is authentication middleware for Node.

Passport

It is designed to serve a singular purpose: authenticate requests. When writing modules, encapsulation is a virtue, so Passport delegates all other functionality to the application. This separation of concerns keeps code clean and maintainable, and makes Passport extremely easy to integrate into an application. In modern web applications, authentication can take a variety of forms. Traditionally, users log in by providing a username and password. Passport recognizes that each application has unique authentication requirements. Despite the complexities involved in authentication, code does not have to be complicated. Install $ npm install passport Authenticating requests is as simple as calling passport.authenticate() and specifying which strategy to employ. authenticate()'s function signature is standard Connect middleware, which makes it convenient to use as route middleware in Express applications.

Daniel Studds » Blog Archive Basic Angular front-end for authentication (SPA Part 3) » Daniel Studds. Posted: May 7th, 2013 | Author: Studds | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments » This is the third part of a series of blog posts that will walk step-by-step through the process of creating a secure Single Page App (SPA) using node.js, passport.js, and Angular.

If you’re new here, you should start at Part 1, where we set up Passport.js. Today, we’re going to get started with Angular. We’re just going to ease in to it: this is deliberately simplified. We’ll cover creating a simple security service and some of the directives we’ll need. The complete series of posts will cover: Getting started with passport.jsAdding in usersHandling login, logout, and registration from a single page appAdding in robust remember-me functionalityProtecting against CSRFProtecting against XSSAdding a reasonably robust remember-me to passport jsEnhancing security by adding some simple HTTP headersSetting up to always redirect to SSLPushing our app to HerokuThrottling login attempts.

Now, I've been wanting to get a decent log-in flow for Node happening for a while now; it's the kind of boilerplate I'm likely to use in a lot of different things. And of course, I want to be able to use the OAuth2 log-in services provided by Facebook, Google et al. A lot of my previous experiments with node and/or angular didn't require this, and as I try to be prudent with my time it's always been on the back burner. Until now, that is... Ever since fiddling around with the Asana API I've become a fan of the whole REST idea. Meliaxford/angular-client-side-auth.

Before going into the details of my approach, it is very important to clarify that, because the user has full controll of the browser, each control implemented with front end technologies, must (!)

Let’s see if we can discover why :) Angular.js is a MV* (Model – View – Whatever) Javascript framework which is maintained by Google which excels in the creation of single-page-applications or even for adding some “magic” to our classic web applications.

Why does Angular.js rock?

I could spend all the day writing about why you should try Angular.js in your new project, but I feel that it would be better if we see it in action. Data binding and scopes The first question that usually comes to mind is: Does it support data binding? Let’s see an example of Angular.js’ way of data binding: In this little piece of code, there are a few things to explain but before that, I want you to get familiarized with the code: Try it Insert your name: Echo: NOTE: Don’t worry too much about the ng-app thing at this moment. As you see, what we write in the input, is echoed after it. Ok, but where are we saving that user.name? Alright alright, that wasn’t hard, but…. The idea is something like:
