Does anyone know of a node.js linkedin API example? [closed]

Question

I'd like to do some LinkedIn API coding using node.js. Does anyone know of an example node.js application that implements the LinkedIn oauth?

thanks

I've been using node-linkedin, very easy to setup, and you can do everything with it...It also looks a lot more promising than the answer with 5 votes.

Quick and easy setup example:

var Linkedin = require('node-linkedin')('app-id', 'secret'); // Get app-id + secret from your LinkedIn developer account

Initialise a linkedin class with a token, e.g an oauth2 token you received from your front-end. this.token = the token that was parsed to my api from the frontend.

var linkedin = Linkedin.init(this.token); // this.token = client token.

Here is a promised linkedin call that I'm using:

return new Promise( (fullfil, reject) => {
      linkedin.people.me( (err, user) => {
        console.log (user, "All user data attached to this.token");
        let resp = {response: user, error: null};
        if (err) resp = {response: null, error: err};
        else {
          this.email = user.emailAddress;
          this.id = user.id;
        }

        fullfil(resp)
      });
});

Without the promise it'd look like this:

linkedin.people.me( (err, user) => { console.log (user); });
