will this module work with Single page apps, and mobile iOS, android?

[surfjedi]

Does this support rest login and authenticating all requests for things like angular single page apps, iOS, android etc?

[projectxmaker]

@bajtos I am also trying to use loopback-passport for login of iOS and android app, and I have the same question as @surfjedi asked.

could you answer this question ?

[bajtos]

I am not familiar with loopback-component-passport, please ask @raymondfeng, he is the person who wrote that module.

I don't think handling login via native SDK and interaction via REST is supported (yet).
The way I handle it is via WebView. Point the user to e.g. /auth/Facebook in a UIWebView, then do sth. like this to get the data:

    - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
    {
        NSString *userId;
        NSString *accessToken;
        NSDate *createdDate;

        NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieJar = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
        for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in [cookieJar cookies]) {
            if ([cookie.name isEqualToString:@"access_token"]) {
                accessToken = cookie.value;
                NSNumber *created = [cookie.properties objectForKey:@"Created"];
                createdDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:[created doubleValue]];
                [cookieJar deleteCookie:cookie];
            }
            else if ([cookie.name isEqualToString:@"userId"]) {
                userId = cookie.value;
                [cookieJar deleteCookie:cookie];
            }
        }
    }

Can you tell me how to use the accesstoken? I am still unauthorised when i tried to make a secure call with this in the header.

[benmarten]

Do you set the access token then to your LBRESTAdapter?
[_adapter setAccessToken:existingAccessToken];

[thedarkcder]

I figured this out. The token is signed so I had to get the unsigned value to make the secure call.

res.cookie('access-token', req.signedCookies['access_token']);
res.cookie('userId', req.signedCookies['userId']);

Thanks to everyone for their information and for making this example project.

I believe that loopback-component-passport needs to add support for passport-facebook-token (https://github.com/drudge/passport-facebook-token) so that we can just send POSTs from the iOS and Android Facebook SDKs, to login with Facebook at least in the correct manner, to then start interacting with the API via mobile. It'd be great if this were to happen and for this example project to be updated when it does.
