BasicStrategy not found #79

Open elspru opened 5 years ago

There is insufficient documentation to get a working example.

Using the snippet from the README leads to the following error:

/srv/www/routes/v1.js:8 passport.use(new BasicStrategy( ^

Please add the following line to the README:

const BasicStrategy = require('passport-http').BasicStrategy;

It shouldn't require reading the source code to figure out how to use your library when you have a README. include the require lines and save people countless hours of Error messages and ill feelings. .

This was helpful, thanks @elspru.

For the record, I tried const BasicStrategy = require('passport-http/strategies/basic'); to no avail. Just presented with a "module not found error".
