What does ".Strategy" do here? Is it Node? Is it Passport?
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
Everything up to '.Strategy' part I understand. I just want to know what '.Strategy' does. I have checked the documentation on passport-local module on npm. I have also checked Passport's documentation, and it is just used in code snippets. No explanation is provided.
I am working with the MEAN stack and we are using Passport to authenticate users.

Did you look at npmjs.com/package/passport-local? Search for "passport strategy"? I seem to be finding a fair bit of documentation.

Yeah, that's the first place I looked. It doesn't exactly tell me what ".Strategy" does though. Everything leading up to the ".Strategy" part I understand.

What do you mean what it does? You can see the implementation, it's open source. Or look at the abstract version: github.com/jaredhanson/passport-strategy

I didn't know to look in the local strategy source code because there wasn't anything in the documentation about it. As far as I could tell, it could have been a Node thing or a Passport thing.

But you can see where it's coming from when you require it, what other information would you need to find it? You can see in the index file it comes from strategy.js, which seems logical.
