OAuth2
======

> OAuth2 Library for Elixir

## Install

```elixir
# mix.exs

def application do
  # Add the application to your list of applications.
  # This will ensure that it will be included in a release.
  [applications: [:logger, :oauth2]]
end

defp deps do
  # Add the dependency
  [{:oauth2, "~> 0.1.1"}]
end
```

## API

Current implemented strategies:

- Authorization Code
- Password
- Client Credentials

### Authorization Code Flow (AuthCode Strategy)

```elixir
# Initialize a client with client_id, client_secret, site, and redirect_uri.
# The strategy option is optional as it defaults to `OAuth2.Strategy.AuthCode`.

client = OAuth2.new([
  strategy: OAuth2.Strategy.AuthCode, #default
  client_id: "client_id",
  client_secret: "abc123",
  site: "https://auth.example.com",
  redirect_uri: "https://example.com/auth/callback"
])

# Generate the authorization URL and redirect the user to the provider.
OAuth2.Client.authorize_url(client)
# => "https://auth.example.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=client_id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fauth%2Fcallback&response_type=code"

# Use the authorization code returned from the provider to obtain an access token.
token = OAuth2.Client.get_token!(client, code: "someauthcode")

# You can also use `OAuth2.Client.put_param/3` to update the client's `params`
# field. Example:
# token =
#   client
#   |> OAuth2.Client.put_param(:code, "someauthcode")
#   |> OAuth2.Client.get_token!()

# Use the access token to make a request for resources
resource = OAuth2.AccessToken.get!(token, "/api/resource")
```

### Write Your Own Strategy

Here's an example strategy for GitHub:

```elixir

defmodule GitHub do
  use OAuth2.Strategy

  # Public API

  def new do
    OAuth2.new([
      strategy: __MODULE__,
      client_id: "abc123",
      client_secret: "abcdefg",
      redirect_uri: "http://myapp.com/auth/callback",
      site: "https://api.github.com",
      authorize_url: "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize",
      token_url: "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token"
    ])
  end

  def authorize_url!(params \\ []) do
    new()
    |> put_param(:scope, "user,public_repo")
    |> OAuth2.Client.authorize_url!(params)
  end

  # you can pass options to the underlying http library via `options` parameter
  def get_token!(params \\ [], headers \\ [], options \\ []) do
    OAuth2.Client.get_token!(new(), params, headers, options)
  end

  # Strategy Callbacks

  def authorize_url(client, params) do
    OAuth2.Strategy.AuthCode.authorize_url(client, params)
  end

  def get_token(client, params, headers) do
    client
    |> put_header("Accept", "application/json")
    |> OAuth2.Strategy.AuthCode.get_token(params, headers)
  end
end
```

Here's how you'd use the example GitHub strategy:

Generate the authorize URL and redirect the client for authorization.

```elixir
GitHub.authorize_url!
```

Capture the `code` in your callback route on your server and use it to obtain an access token.

```elixir
token = GitHub.get_token!(code: code)
```

Use the access token to access desired resources.

```elixir
user = OAuth2.AccessToken.get!(token, "/user")
```

## Examples

- [Authenticate with Github (OAuth2/Phoenix)](https://github.com/scrogson/oauth2_example)

## TODO

- [ ] Remove Plug dependency (except for tests?)
- [ ] Remove HTTPoison dependency
- [ ] Add more HTTP methods for AccessToken
- [ ] More Tests
