Redirecting to previous page after authentication in node.js using passport.js
In your ensureAuthenticated method save the return url in the session like this:
...req.session.returnTo = req.originalUrl; res.redirect('/login');...Then you can update your passport.authenticate route to something like:
app.get('/auth/google/return', passport.authenticate('google'), function(req, res) { res.redirect(req.session.returnTo || '/'); delete req.session.returnTo;});
I don't know about passport, but here's how I do it:
I have a middleware I use with app.get('/account', auth.restrict, routes.account) that sets redirectTo in the session...then I redirect to /login
auth.restrict = function(req, res, next){ if (!req.session.userid) { req.session.redirectTo = '/account'; res.redirect('/login'); } else { next(); }};Then in routes.login.post I do the following:
var redirectTo = req.session.redirectTo || '/';delete req.session.redirectTo;// is authenticated ?res.redirect(redirectTo);
