I am experimenting with passport.js and the Node-RED login.
It is noticeable that when the [node red auth github](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-auth-github) package is used the users avatar is imported. However if GiHub is used as the authentication source with passport no avatar is imported.
Is there a way of defining the avatar URL in the strategies verify callback, for example:
```auto
verify: function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
profile.username = profile.displayName;
profile.avatarURL = profile._json.avatar_URL;
done(null, profile);
},
```
or is it done in the callback function added to the users property

From memory, I think you should set `profile.image` in the verify callback.

Thanks 🙂 I came to that conclusion eventually! so will test on 3.1.9 and 4.0.0-beta see what happens.
... I tried this and no avavtar was added
```auto
verify: function (accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
profile.username = profile.displayName;
profile.image = profile._json.avatar_URL;
done(null, profile);
},
```
