Shameless plug: We wrote a backend app, Checkpoint, that works similarly to this. It's open source [1] and in use with a number of production apps. Admittedly it does not have the JavaScript stuff, but that's easy enough to add. Basically, Checkpoint is a facade that abstracts authentication into a simple API. You set up Checkpoint with your OAuth keys (for, say, Facebook), then just redirect your app to /login/facebook. Checkpoint will do the OAuth interaction and return to your app with a key that can be used to access the login session. Checkpoint abstracts the notion of logins into identities and accounts. An identity corresponds to a user, and can have more than one account associated with it. Identities are logically partitioned by "realm", so it's ready for federated installations.
