What's the best way to mix passport-facebook and passport-jwt?

Question

I am kind of new to Node.js development and currently working on a pet project on my free time.

So far I have created JWT authentication using passport and passport-jwt for the strategy and I am using it in all of my RESTful APIs.

Now I am thinking of mixing this with some sort of Facebook authentication still want to stick with token authentication.

Currently this is how I am generating and obtaining the token:

exports.authenticate = function(req, res) {
    User.findOne({
        email: req.body.email
    }, function(err, user) {
        if (err)
            return res.status(400).send(getErrorMessage(err));

        if (!user) {
            res.status(400).send({
                success: false,
                message: 'Authentication failed. User not found.'
            });
        } else {
            if (user.checkPassword(req.body.password)) {

                let token = jwt.encode(user, config.secretPhrase);

                res.json({
                    success: true,
                    token: 'JWT ' + token
                });
            } else {
                res.status(401).send({
                    success: false,
                    message: 'Authentication failed. Wrong password.'
                });
            }
        }
    });
};

app.route('/api/users/authenticate')
        .post(user.authenticate);

And to validate I do the following:

let user = require('../../app/controllers/user-controller');
app.route('/api/todos')
        .get(user.validateLogin, todos.list)
        .post(user.validateLogin, todos.create);

user-controller:

exports.validateLogin = passport.authenticate('jwt', {
    session: false
});

Anyone can suggest a neat way to mix the two strategies ? should I use express-jwt ? What's the difference between express-jwt and passport-jwt ?

you can use passport-facebook like what you did with passport-jwt with new strategy so you can save Facebook user token in your database and return your token
