OmniAuth Behance

This gem contains the Behance strategy for OmniAuth.

Before You Begin

You should have already installed OmniAuth into your app; if not, read the OmniAuth README to get started.

Now sign in into the Behance developer area and create an application. Take note of your Client Id and Client Secret because that is what your web application will use to authenticate against the Behance API.

Using This Strategy

First start by adding this gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-behance'

Next, tell OmniAuth about this provider. For a Rails app, your config/initializers/omniauth.rb file should look like this:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :behance, "CLIENT_KEY", "CLIENT_SECRET", { scope: 'collection_read|wip_read|project_read' }
end

Replace CLIENT_KEY and CLIENT_SECRET with the appropriate values you obtained from Behance earlier. The value of the scope parameter is the keys of permissions you wish to access from the API.
