const app = express();
app.use(...);
...
...

// Set up passport
passport.serializeUser((user: User, done) => {
    done(null, /* user.id */);
})
passport.deserializeUser((id: string, done) => {
    done(null, /* database.getUserById(id) */);
});
...
...

passport.use(new Strategy(
    {
        // The Client Id for your discord application (See "Discord Application Setup")
        clientID: "wumpus",

        // The Client Secret for your discord application (See "Discord Application Setup")
        clientSecret: "supmuw",

        // The callback URL - Your app should be accessible on this domain. You can use

        cb(null, /* database.createOrUpdateDiscordUser(profile) */)

    }
));

// Connect passport to express/connect/etc
app.get("/auth/discord", passport.authenticate("discord"));
