Effectra ThirdParty Library

Effectra\ThirdParty is a TypeScript library that provides OAuth configuration and functionality for various third-party platforms such as LinkedIn, GitHub, Facebook, and Google. It simplifies the process of integrating with these platforms and accessing user data through OAuth authentication.

Features

• Simplified OAuth configuration and authentication for third-party platforms.
• Easy retrieval of access tokens and user information.
• Supports multiple popular platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, Facebook, and Google.

Installation

You can install the Effectra\ThirdParty library via npm. Run the following command in your project directory:

npm install @effectra/third-party

Usage

LinkedIn

To use the LinkedIn OAuth functionality, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the LinkedIn class by providing your LinkedIn client ID, client secret, and optional redirect URL and scopes.

import { LinkedIn } from '@effectra/third-party';

const linkedin = new LinkedIn('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL', ['r_liteprofile', 'r_emailaddress']);

2. Generate the authorization URL to redirect the user for authentication:

const authUrl = linkedin.getAuthURL();

3. Redirect the user to the generated authorization URL. After successful authentication, LinkedIn will redirect the user back to the specified redirect URL with an authorization code.

4. Exchange the authorization code for an access token:

const code = '...'; // The authorization code obtained from the LinkedIn redirect
const accessToken = await linkedin.getAccessToken(code);

5. Use the access token to retrieve user information:

const user = await linkedin.getUser(accessToken);

GitHub

To use the GitHub OAuth functionality, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the GitHub class by providing your GitHub client ID, client secret, and optional redirect URL and scopes.

import { GitHub } from '@effectra/third-party';

const github = new GitHub('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL', ['user']);

2. Generate the authorization URL to redirect the user for authentication:

const authUrl = github.getAuthURL();

3. Redirect the user to the generated authorization URL. After successful authentication, GitHub will redirect the user back to the specified redirect URL with an authorization code.

4. Exchange the authorization code for an access token:

const code = '...'; // The authorization code obtained from the GitHub redirect
const accessToken = await github.getAccessToken(code);

5. Use the access token to retrieve user information:

const user = await github.getUser(accessToken);

Facebook

To use the Facebook OAuth functionality, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the Facebook class by providing your Facebook client ID, client secret, and optional redirect URL and scopes.

import { Facebook } from '@effectra/third-party';

const facebook = new Facebook('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL', ['email']);

2. Generate the authorization URL to redirect the user for authentication:

const authUrl = facebook.getAuthURL();

3. Redirect the user to the generated authorization URL. After successful authentication, Facebook will redirect the user back to the specified redirect URL with an authorization code.

4. Exchange the authorization code for an access token:

const code = '...'; // The authorization code obtained from the Facebook redirect
const accessToken = await facebook.getAccessToken(code);

5. Use the access token to retrieve user information:

const user = await facebook.getUser(accessToken);

Google

To use the Google OAuth functionality, follow these steps:

1. Create an instance of the Google class by providing your Google client ID, client secret, and optional redirect URL and scopes.

import { Google } from '@effectra/third-party';

const google = new Google('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL', ['profile', 'email']);

2. Generate the authorization URL to redirect the user for authentication:

const authUrl = google.getAuthURL();

3. Redirect the user to the generated authorization URL. After successful authentication, Google will redirect the user back to the specified redirect URL with an authorization code.

4. Exchange the authorization code for an access token:

const code = '...'; // The authorization code obtained from the Google redirect
const accessToken = await google.getAccessToken(code);

5. Use the access token to retrieve user information:

const user = await google.getUser(accessToken);

OAuthServiceInterface

The OAuthServiceInterface is an interface that defines the contract for an OAuth service. It provides methods for retrieving configuration, authorization URL, access token, and user data from an OAuth service.

Usage

To use this interface, you need to create a class that implements it and provides the necessary functionality. Here's an example of how you can implement the OAuthServiceInterface:

class MyOAuthService implements OAuthServiceInterface {
    // Implement the methods defined in the interface
}

In the above example, you need to replace the placeholder methods with your actual implementation based on the OAuth service you are integrating with.

Method Overview

getConfig(): any

This method returns the configuration object for the OAuth service.

getAuthURL(): string

This method returns the authorization URL for the OAuth service.

getAccessToken(code: string): Promise<string>

This method retrieves the access token for the OAuth service using the authorization code provided as a parameter.

getUser(token: string): Promise<any | null>

This method retrieves the user data from the OAuth service using the access token provided as a parameter. It returns an object containing user data or null if the operation is unsuccessful.
