Authentication with API

[dalefrancis88]

Hey,

I have an app i am building. I am now at the point that i need to do authentication to an API i have hosted. It was build using MEAN. It has passportjs already setup for facebook, google and local.

Everything i find shows me how to authenticate with facebook and google but there seems to be no descpriptions on strategies on how to authenticate from a device and be able to make calls without problems. My guess is i am missing some strategy or concept, Was hoping that someone would be able to push me in the right direction…

Thanks

Handling Facebook / Twitter authentication with PhoneGap

I actually needed something like that for a few apps I’m working on. I spent quite some time investigating this and was able to achieve something I was happy with, just thought I’d share some of the stuff I’ve done. In addition to email/password authentication I’ve added some social authentication which kind of works in the same way. You can download the apk and test it. If this is what you’re looking for you can checkout both the client side code at : https://github.com/malikov/Authenticate.…
