Building Authentication with passport.js Chapter 6

To start using this package, let's define it in server.js as well:

const morgan = require('morgan')

const fs = require('fs')

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

Installing passport.js

Just like any other npm package, we can install passport.js by running the following

command:

$ npm install passport --save

On successful installation, you should have those package listed on your package.json as

well:

"nodemon": "^1.14.10",

"passport": "^0.4.0",

"sass-loader": "^6.0.6",

You can also do this by first adding the package to your package.json file and then

running the following command:

$ npm install

Configuring passport

Just like any other node package, we will need to configure the package for passport.js.

In our server.js file, add the following lines of code:

...

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const cors = require('cors');

const morgan = require('morgan');

const fs = require('fs');

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const passport = require('passport');

const app = express();

const router = express.Router();
