Response

Opauth now returns a Response object, which stores the result of a successful authentication. A Response object must have five properties accesible publicly: provider, raw, uid, name, and credentials.

  • provider - The provider with which the user authenticated (e.g. ‘Twitter’ or ‘Facebook’)
  • raw - An array of all information gather about a user returned by the provider.
  • uid - A user identifier unique to the given provider, such as a Twitter user ID.
  • name - A user name unique to the given provider, such as a Facebook username.
  • credentials - If the authenticating service provides some kind of access token or other credentials upon authentication, these are passed through here.
  • info - An array containing information about the user, such as name, image, location, etc.
