Coldbox Module to allow Social Login via Twitter

Setup & Installation

Add the following structure to Coldbox.cfc

twitter = {
    oauth = {
        // This must MATCH exactly the twitter oauth callback url
        callbackURL     = "http://www.nextstep.guru/twitter/oauth",

        // URL where success will be sent
        loginSuccess    = "login.success",

        // URL where failures will be sent
        loginFailure    = "login.failure",

        // Twitter provided consumer Key & Secret
        consumerKey     = "{{Twitter_Provided_Consumer_Key_Here}}",
        consumerSecret  = "{{Twitter_Provided_Consumer_Secret_Here}}"
    }
}

Interception Point

If you want to capture any data from a successful login, use the interception point twitterLoginSuccess. Inside the interceptData structure will contain all the provided data from twitter for the specific user.

An example interception could look like this

component {

    function twitterLoginSuccess(event,interceptData){
        var queryService = new query(sql="SELECT roles,email,password FROM user WHERE twitterUserID = :id;");
            queryService.addParam(name="id",value=interceptData['user_id']);
        var lookup = queryService.execute().getResult();

        if( lookup.recordCount ){
            login {
                loginuser name=lookup.email password=lookup.password roles=lookup.roles;
            };
        }else{
            // create new user
        }

    }
}
