How to use passport-github in a REST API Architecture?

[rkpattnaik780]

I am building a vue.js client which needs to be authenticated through github oauth using an express server. It's easy to do this using server side rendering but implementing it in REST API has been troublesome for me.

I have set the homepage url as "http://localhost:3000" where the server runs and I want the authorization callback url to be "http://localhost:8080" (which hosts the client). I am redirecting to "http://localhost:3000/auth/github/redirect" instead, and in its callback redirecting to "http://localhost:8080". The problem I am facing is that I am unable to send user data to the vuejs client through res.redirect. I am not sure if I am doing it the right way.

router.get("/github", passport.authenticate("github"));

router.get(
  "/github/redirect",
  passport.authenticate("github", { failureRedirect: "/login" }),
  (req, res) => {
    // res.send(req.user);
    res.redirect("http://localhost:8080/"); // req.user should be sent with this
  }
);
