Path prefix

I have an api that I have mounted on an url like this: http://localhost/v2/social/

My provider callbacks are configured like this: /v2/social/connect/twitter/done

The callbacks in between however, do not know about the /v2/social part. These callbacks will come back to http://localhost/connect/twitter/callback.

I tried setting the grant.server.host to localhost/v2/social, but this didn’t work. I dived a bit into the source code and added a quick fix to be able to specify path prefix options. I tried it with express and it seems to work.

Here is what I did: https://github.com/arjanfrans/grant/commit/b18df7033fa8756ef8e18dadc8bcc0c9df880df1

In the config I then have something like this:

{
  server: {
    protocol: 'http',
    host: 'localhost',
    transport: 'session',
    path: '/v2/social'
  },
  twitter: {
    key: 'keyhere',
    secret: 'secrethere'
    callback: '/connect/twitter/done'
  }
}

To me it seems like a missing feature. It would be nice to see it integrated. I could work on a proper pull request if I have some time next week.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I think it should work out of the box if you set your host property to localhost/v2/social and mount Grant with that prefix:

app.use('/v2/social', grant)

But I don’t like using the host property like that, also I haven’t tested it myself so it might not work. Either way I’ll figure out the best way to add this feature these days. I’m also going to add a new example and I’ll probably update the docs as well.

Thanks for contributing 👍
