node.js - Sails.js API passport.js authentication -

i trying develop api backend in sails.js.

the basic thing require authentication.

with that, found sails-generate-auth generator, have followed steps listed @ sails-generate-auth .

now, when access http://localhost:1337/register, see simple registration form, same goes login, , after logging in, see cookie set in browser sails.sid.

after inspecting authcontroller.js see has been written server rendered views.

how should modify controller/sailsapp supports api based authentication.

i ideally have:

1. a register route accept username , password via post content type application/json.

2. login route accept username , password content-type application/json , return bearer token frontend app can add header next time makes request.

3. all other routes under auth acl check if bearer token present , verified.

in authcontroller callback function replace this:

res.redirect('/'); 

with this:

console.log(user); var userid = user.id; passport.find({user: userid}, function(err, items){     if(err) return err;      console.log(items[0].accesstoken);     // make sure dont give them sensetive data     res.json({userdata: user, token: items[0].accesstoken}); }); // upon successful login, send user homepage req.user //res.redirect('/'); 

now when client sends login/register request server response json response. make sure request token on other sails app actions.
