OmniAuth Discord - OAuth2 Strategy for OmniAuth

OmniAuth Discord is an OAuth2 strategy for OmniAuth that allows you to authenticate users using Discord. If you're not familiar with Discord's OAuth2, we recommend you check out the Discord API documentation for more details.

To install OmniAuth Discord, simply add the following line to your Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-discord'

Then run bundle install to install the gem.

OmniAuth Discord is a Rack middleware. If you're not familiar with OmniAuth, we recommend reading the documentation for detailed instructions. Here's an example of how to add the middleware to a Rails app in config/initializers/omniauth.rb:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :discord, ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET']
end

By default, Discord does not return a user's email address. You can request access to additional resources by setting scopes. For example, to get a user's email, you would set the scope to 'email'.

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :discord, ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'email'
end

You can pass multiple scopes in the same string. For example, to get a user's Discord account info, you would set the scope to 'email identify'.

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :discord, ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'email identify'
end

You can also specify a callback URL by adding callback_url to the provider options.

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :discord, ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'email identify', callback_url: 'https://someurl.com/users/auth/discord/callback'
end

You can request additional permissions from the user by setting the permissions option. For example, to request permission to the MANAGE_CHANNELS and MANAGE_ROLES permissions, you would set permissions to 0x00000010 + 0x10000000.

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :discord, ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'identify  bot', permissions: 0x00000010 + 0x10000000
end

This will request permission to the MANAGE_CHANNELS and the MANAGE_ROLES permissions.

You can specify the prompt options by setting the prompt option. The prompt option indicates whether the user should be prompted to reauthorize on sign in. Valid options are 'consent' and 'none'. Note that the user is always prompted to authorize on sign up.
