Installing

Then bundle install.

Usage

OmniAuth::Strategies::MyHeritage is simply a Rack middleware. Read the OmniAuth 1.0 docs for detailed instructions: https://github.com/intridea/omniauth.

Here’s a quick example, adding the middleware to a Rails app in config/initializers/omniauth.rb:

ruby Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do provider :myheritage, ENV['MY_HERITAGE_KEY'], ENV['MY_HERITAGE_SECRET'] end

Configuring

You can configure several options, which you pass in to the provider method via a Hash:

  • scope: A comma-separated list of permissions you want to request from the user. See the MyHeritage docs for a full list of available permissions. Default: email.

For example, to request email permission:

ruby Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do provider :myheritage, ENV['MY_HERITAGE_KEY'], ENV['MY_HERITAGE_SECRET'], :scope => 'email' end

Authentication Hash

Here’s an example Authentication Hash available in request.env['omniauth.auth']:

ruby { :provider => 'myheritage', :uid => '123', :info => { :first_name => 'Alex', :last_name => 'Thompson', :email => '[email protected]', :name => 'Alex Thompson' }, :credentials => { :token => 'ABCDEF...', # OAuth 2.0 access_token :expires_at => 1321747205 # when the access token expires }, :extra => { :profile => { :id => '1234567', :name => 'Alex Thompson', :first_name => 'Alex', :last_name => 'Thompson' } } }

The precise information available may depend on the permissions which you request.
