omniauth-medium

This is an unofficial OmniAuth strategy for authenticating through Medium.

To use it, you'll need to register a new OAuth application with Medium.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-medium'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-medium

use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :medium, ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'basicProfile,listPublications'
end

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider : medium, ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_ID'], ENV['MEDIUM_CLIENT_SECRET'], scope: 'basicProfile,listPublications'
end

See the example Sinatra app for a full example.

For more information on interfacing with Medium's API, head over to their documentation.

OmniAuth will return an authentication hash similar to the example below. Learn more about the Auth Hash Schema.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

1. Fork it ( https://github.com/adamkirkwood/omniauth-medium/fork )
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create a new Pull Request
