nforce-express

express.js plugin for nforce. This plugin provides an express/connnect middleware factory that automatically handles the OAuth 2.0 callback from Salesforce.

Usage

Installation

npm install nforce nforce-express

var nforce = require('nforce');

// load the plugin
require('nforce-express')(nforce);

var org = nforce.createConnection({
  clientId: '{{clientId}}',
  clientSecret: '{{clientId}}',
  redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/oauth/_callback',
  plugins: ['express']
});

Then when your express application is set up, you can load the middleware. The middleware listens for OAuth callbacks from a web server flow and will automatically complete the required POST request for an access_token.

// add the middleware to the stack
app.use(org.express.oauth({
  onSuccess: '/test/query',
  onError: '/oauth/error'
}));

// create a route to start the flow
app.get('/oauth/authorize', function(req, res){
  return res.redirect(org.getAuthUri());
});

The resulting OAuth object will be stored on the session. This means that you must be using sessions in your express app!
