Are there any plans to update this to support Express 4.x?

@bnoguchi, We are all very grateful for the work you have put into everyauth and we understand the difficult balance of work, life and a side project(s). Lots of developers have come to depend on this specific package and are feening to move their apps to Express 4. I understand time is probably the biggest factor but could I offer you $ to get it into your schedule? If you are already working on it, awesome, I still would contribute $ just because you deserve it. Any feedback would be super helpful.

@CCVonLewin Thanks for the kick in the butt :) I started a new branch this past wknd. The new branch will support Express 4 and will also simplify some of the implementation of everyauth. I hope to finish it this weekend or by the subsequent weekend, time permitting.

So I finished a first draft of a re-write of core everyauth today. See the example/ directory to get a feel for the changes. I only migrated the Facebook login module over. I need to migrate the other modules over and then clean up the re-write of core. If you'd like to help me migrate the other modules, send me a message, and I'll add you to the new https://github.com/everyauth group, where the modules will live.

I'm going to hold off on publishing to npm for now, but try this branch out in the meantime.

https://github.com/bnoguchi/everyauth/tree/0.5.x

Here's a quick summary of what's different:

• All modules like facebook, twitter, etc except everyauth core will now live at https://github.com/everyauth. This will make it much easier to deliver updates to specific modules, and it should make contributing to everyauth much easier. I've already updated and moved the implementations of oauth2 and facebook to this new home. Get in touch if you want to help with migrations.
• Everyauth no longer magically takes care of routing for you. Instead, you should explicitly declare your routes and use everyauth as middleware or route handlers for your routes. This leads to more readable code because you'll know exactly where to look to find every one of your routes, instead of wondering what routes everyauth magically created underneath the hood. This also affords more flexibility in what you're able to accomplish with both upstream and downstream middleware relative to everyauth's route middleware.
• I'm moving away from Everyauth's error handling API, instead allowing you to explicitly leverage Express's error handling via its typical next callback. In the body of next, you'll be able to determine how you want to handle specific custom Errors exposed via an everyauth module via some instanceof checks. This should simplify the code. Before, error handling was complex because you had to think about how Everyauth allowed you to define error handling and how to glue that to the way express allowed you to handle errors. We're doing away with that in favor of using what Express already provides.

If you have any questions, let me know. It's late over here, but I wanted to send an update out to this thread about the changes and upcoming new release.

If anyone wants to try the 0.5.x preview, add dependency:

"everyauth": "git://github.com/bnoguchi/everyauth.git#0.5.x"

In case you do not know already how to add github dependencies, which I didn't :P

Any progress on this?

[bnoguchi]

There's a branch that already works for express 4.x. I'll document and push info about this tonight and re-post on this thread. ᐧ

I assume it's the 1.x branch? Is documentation updated in that branch for the code re-write? Thanks in advance.

[ilanbiala]

@bnoguchi how about getting some help from a strong contributor?

[nponeccop]

I'm doing something different from both 0.5.x and 1.x branches, namely I've made Google working with examples/server.js, while replacing everything deprecated, such as jade with pug and bumping express to 4.x along with other dependencies.

See also #488 for my (original) plan.

My branch is https://github.com/bnoguchi/everyauth/compare/master...nponeccop:hotfix-0.4.10

If we end with something viable, we can release it to npm in a namespace such as @foo/everyauth, and move on without any participation from @bnoguchi.
