Sailing passport

Question

I am trying to embed Passport strategies into sails, for example, I can share several projects.

When I try to log in, I have this error:

Error: passport.initialize() middleware not in use at IncomingMessage.req.login.req.logIn (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails-hook-passport/node_modules/passport-github/node_modules/passport-oauth/node_modules/passport/lib/passport/http/request.js:30:30) at /Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails-hook-passport/api/controllers/AuthController.js:163:11 at Strategy.strategy.success (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails-hook-passport/node_modules/passport/lib/middleware/authenticate.js:194:18) at verified (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails-hook-passport/node_modules/passport-twitter/node_modules/passport-oauth1/lib/strategy.js:169:16) at returnResults (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/basic.js:168:9) at /Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/basic.js:74:16 at /Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/operations.js:82:7 at Object.async.each (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:121:20) at /Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/operations.js:425:11 at /Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/operations.js:564:5 at Object.async.each (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:121:20) at _buildChildOpts (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/operations.js:453:9) at _execChildOpts (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/operations.js:421:8) at /Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/query/finders/operations.js:80:10 at bound (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/lodash/dist/lodash.js:957:21) at applyInOriginalCtx (/Users/jaumard/IdeaProjects/HookPassportTest/node_modules/sails/node_modules/waterline/lib/waterline/utils/normalize.js:421:80) 

I read that I need to add some middleware in config / http.js

 middleware: { passportInit : require('passport').initialize(), passportSession : require('passport').session(), order: [ 'startRequestTimer', 'cookieParser', 'session', 'passportInit', 'passportSession', 'myRequestLogger', 'bodyParser', 'handleBodyParserError', 'compress', 'methodOverride', 'poweredBy', 'router', 'www', 'favicon', '404', '500' ] } 

All this works after that, but I am under the installation hook and do not want to manually change http.js, is there any way to change this because of the hook? Or fix the error without adding it.

If I understand correctly, you need to initialize the .js passport in your middleware, but you do not have to manually edit http.js in each of your projects. To do this, you will create an installation hook as follows:

 module.exports = function passware(sails) { sails.config.http.middleware = { passportInit : require('passport').initialize(), passportSession : require('passport').session(), order: [ 'startRequestTimer', 'cookieParser', 'session', 'passportInit', 'passportSession', 'myRequestLogger', 'bodyParser', 'handleBodyParserError', 'compress', 'methodOverride', 'poweredBy', 'router', 'www', 'favicon', '404', '500' ] } return {}; } 

To use it, you simply copy the hook into your node_modules or npm publish and npm install in your projects.
