connect-with

Meteor package to connect multiple OAuth providers to a single user account.

The user, after connecting multiple services (e.g. Google and Facebook), can then login to his account using whichever one he wants.

Example

Setup:

# Add google and facebook authentication
meteor add accounts-google accounts-facebook
# Add this package
meteor add mondora:connect-with

Code:

// The user must be already logged in with one service
// (in this example, google)
if (Meteor.user()) {
	Meteor.connectWith("facebook");
}

The customary oauth popup will open and the user will be prompted to login to facebook. When the popup closes, the google and facebook services will both be connected to the user account.

API

####Meteor.connectWith(serviceName, [options], [callback]) #####Arguments

• serviceName string required: the name of the service to connect (e.g. "facebook")
• options object optional: see docs.meteor.com for details
• callback function optional: called with no arguments on success, or with a single Error argument on failure.

Future plans

All oauth services are supported. In the future I'd like to add the possibility to set a pair of credentials (username or email, and password) to an existing account connected via oauth. To avoid polluting the package with code copy/pasted from the accounts-password core package, I'm waiting for this pull request to resolve before adding the functionality.

Also, it'd be nice to extend the accounts-ui interface with the "connect-with" functionality. Contributors are of course welcome. :-)
