var auth = require('electron-auth');

{
  //Initialize the github auth options
  var opt = { client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID', client_secret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET' };
 
  //Handle the github authentication

    //....
  });
});

API

auth(provider, options, callback)

Perform the user authentication for the desired provider. This method accepts the following arguments:

• provider: an object with the information about the provider. You can use the built-in providers or use a custom provider.
• options: an object with the options.
• callback: a function that will be executed when the authentication is done or when there is an error during the process of authentication.

Providers

All the supported providers are stored in auth.providers.PROVIDER_NAME. You can also use your own provider.
