Get request object in Passport strategy callback

Question

So here is my configuration for passport-facebook strategy:

    passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
        clientID: \".....\",
        clientSecret: \"....         


        

Answer 1

For this reason instead of setting up the strategy when the application starts I usually setup the strategy when there is a request. for instance:

app.get(
    '/facebook/login'
    ,passport_setup_strategy()
    ,passport.authenticate()
    ,redirect_home()
);

var isStrategySetup = false;
var passport_setup_strategy = function(){
    return function(req, res, next){
        if(!isStrategySetup){

            passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
                    clientID: ".....",
                    clientSecret: ".....",
                    callbackURL: "http://localhost:1337/register/facebook/callback",
                },
                function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) { 
                    process.nextTick(function () {    
                        // here you can access 'req'
                        .......
                    });    
                }
            ));

            isStrategySetup = true;

        }

        next();
    };
}

Using this you will have access to the request in your verification handler.
