**NOTICE:** Dropbox supports both OAuth 1.0 and OAuth 2.0. This strategy
implements support for OAuth 1.0.  If you are building a new application, OAuth
2.0 is preferred.  In that case, [passport-dropbox-oauth2](https://github.com/florianheinemann/passport-dropbox-oauth2)
can be used as a strategy.

[Passport](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport) strategy for authenticating
with [Dropbox](http://www.dropbox.com/) using the OAuth 1.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using Dropbox in your Node.js applications.
By plugging into Passport, Dropbox authentication can be easily and
unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports
[Connect](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/)-style middleware, including
[Express](http://expressjs.com/).

## Install

$ npm install passport-dropbox

## Usage

#### Create an Application

Before using `passport-dropbox`, you must register an application with Dropbox.
If you have not already done so, a new application can be created at
[Dropbox Developers](https://www.dropbox.com/developers).  Your application will
be issued a key and secret, which need to be provided to the strategy.

#### Configure Strategy

The Dropbox authentication strategy authenticates users using a Dropbox account
and OAuth tokens.  The consumer key and consumer secret obtained when creating
an application are supplied as options when creating the strategy.  The strategy
also requires a `verify` callback, which receives the access token and
corresponding secret as arguments, as well as `profile` which contains the
authenticated user's Dropbox profile.   The `verify` callback must call `cb`
providing a user to complete authentication.

passport.use(new DropboxStrategy({
        consumerKey: DROPBOX_APP_KEY,
        consumerSecret: DROPBOX_APP_SECRET,
        callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/dropbox/callback"
      },
      function(token, tokenSecret, profile, cb) {
        User.findOrCreate({ dropboxId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
          return cb(err, user);
        });
      }
    ));

#### Authenticate Requests

Use `passport.authenticate()`, specifying the `'dropbox'` strategy, to
authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an [Express](http://expressjs.com/)
application:

app.get('/auth/dropbox',
      passport.authenticate('dropbox'));
    
    app.get('/auth/dropbox/callback', 
      passport.authenticate('dropbox', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
      function(req, res) {
        // Successful authentication, redirect home.
        res.redirect('/');
      });

## Examples

Developers using the popular [Express](http://expressjs.com/) web framework can
refer to an [example](https://github.com/passport/express-4.x-twitter-example)
as a starting point for their own web applications.  The example shows how to
authenticate users using Twitter.  However, because both Twitter and Dropbox use
OAuth 1.0, the code is similar.  Simply replace references to Twitter with
corresponding references to Dropbox.
