Redirect Back to App

In the previous section, you added session support to the app in order to maintain state when redirecting to Facebook. In this section, you'll add a route that authenticates the user when Facebook redirects them back to the app.

Open routes/auth.js and add the following code at line 55, below the /login/federated/facebook route.

router.get('/oauth2/redirect/facebook', passport.authenticate('facebook', {
  successRedirect: '/',
  failureRedirect: '/login'
}));

The app now has routes that handle the complete cycle of redirecting to Facebook and from Facebook back to the app, with state maintained in between. Try signing in by starting the server.

$ npm start

Open http://localhost:3000, click "Sign in" and then click "Sign in with Facebook."

Uh oh... the app fails with an error related to sessions. Next, you will fix that error by configuring Passport to establish a session.
