This package is based on the work of https://github.com/PoBuchi/meteor-accounts-linkedin. Since the pauli:accounts-linkedin package has not been updated for a couple of years (and doesn't work with Meteor 2.3+), I decided to start maintaining it.

This package requires at least meteor 2.3, if you have an older version of meteor in your project, I recommend you to use pauli:accounts-linkedin.

Installation

meteor add codifytools:accounts-linkedin

Setup

On the server-side you must setup the clientId and secret of your Linkedin Application by using the following code:

import { ServiceConfiguration } from "meteor/service-configuration";

ServiceConfiguration.configurations.upsert({ service: 'linkedin' }, { $set: {
  clientId: 'client_id_here',
  secret: 'secret_here',
  loginStyle: 'popup'
} });

On the client-side, you should use the following structure in order to execute the new Linkedin authentication (example with React):

import React from 'react';

export function Authentication() {
  const handleAuthenticate = () => {
    Meteor.loginWithLinkedin({ requestPermissions: ["r_liteprofile","r_emailaddress"] }, (error) => {
      if (error) { console.log(error); }
    });
  };

  return <button type="button" onClick={handleAuthenticate}>Sign in With Linkedin</button>;
};

To configure the user's collection, you should use the following code on the server-side:

import { Accounts } from "meteor/accounts-base";

Accounts.onCreateUser((options, user) => {
  if (!user.services.linkedin) return user;
  user.emails = [{ address: user.services.linkedin.email, verified: true }]
  return user;
});
