simply-oauth

This is a fork of node-oauth to modernize the API with async functions and ES6+ features.

Original work by Ciaran Jessup: node-oauth

This library provides a simple API for querying OAuth endpoints.

Installation

npm install simply-oauth

Usage

All four request types (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) follow the same invocation and response flow.
Invoke the desired request type via oauth.[get|post|put|delete].

API Return Behavior

Each method returns a Promise. The promise resolves into an object with three potential keys:
{ error, data, response }

• error: undefined or Number
  • Undefined if no error, else holds the response status code (404, 500, etc.)
• data: String
  • data returned from the response
• response: IncomingMessage
  • object containing all the response headers/information. IncomingMessage Docs

The Promise rejects if it encounters an operational or Node.js error during the request.
3XX - 5XX Response Codes are NOT thrown as errors from the Promise.

OAuth 1.0/A

Creating an OAuth object

const { OAuth } = require('simply-oauth');

const oauth = new OAuth(
    'http://requestUrl.com', // Request Token URL
    'http://accessUrl.com',  // Access Token URL
    'consumerKey',           // Application Consumer Key
    'consumerSecret',        // Application Consumer Secret
    '1.0A',                  // OAuth Version
    null,                    // Authorize Callback
    'HMAC-SHA1'              // Signature Method
);

Sending a GET request

try {
    const { error, data, response } = await oauth.get(
        'http://url.com',
        'oauth_token',
        'oauth_secret'
    );
    if (error) {
        // Handle response error
    }
    const parsedData = JSON.parse(data);
} catch (e) {
    // Handle execution error
}

Sending a POST request

const postData = {
    someKey: 'someValue'
};
try {
    const { error, data, response } = await oauth.post(
        'http://url.com',
        'oauth_token',
        'oauth_secret',
        postData
    );
    if (error) {
        // Handle response error
    }
}
catch (e) {
    // Handle execution error
}

Sending a PUT request

const putData = {
    someKey: 'someValue'
};
try {
    const { error, data, response } = await oauth.put(
        'http://url.com',
        'oauth_token',
        'oauth_secret',
        putData
    );
    if (error) {
        // Handle response error
    }
}
catch (e) {
    // Handle execution error
}

Sending a DELETE request

try {
    const { error, data, response } = await oauth.delete(
        'http://url.com',
        'oauth_token',
        'oauth_secret'
    );
    if (error) {
        // Handle response error
    }
}
catch (e) {
    // Handle execution error
}

POST/PUT Supported Types

This package supports sending the following types of data:

• String
