OAuth2 Client for Deno

[!IMPORTANT] This package will no longer be published to https://deno.land/x or support http: imports starting from version 2.0.0. Instead, future versions will be published to JSR and require jsr: imports. See the migration guide for instructions on how to migrate.

Minimalistic OAuth 2.0 client for Deno. Inspired by js-client-oauth2.

This module tries not to make assumptions on your use-cases. As such, it

• has no external dependencies outside of Deno's standard library
• can be used with Deno's http module or any other library for handling http requests, like oak
• only implements OAuth 2.0 grants, letting you take care of storing and retrieving sessions, managing state parameters, etc.

Currently supported OAuth 2.0 grants:

• Authorization Code Grant (for clients with and without client secrets)
  • Out of the box support for Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)
• Implicit Grant
• Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant
• Client Credentials Grant
• Refresh Tokens

Usage

GitHub API example using oak

import { Application, Router } from "https://deno.land/x/oak@v11.1.0/mod.ts";
import { Session } from "https://deno.land/x/oak_sessions@v4.0.5/mod.ts";
import { OAuth2Client } from "https://deno.land/x/oauth2_client/mod.ts";

const oauth2Client = new OAuth2Client({
  clientId: Deno.env.get("CLIENT_ID")!,
  clientSecret: Deno.env.get("CLIENT_SECRET")!,
  authorizationEndpointUri: "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize",
  tokenUri: "https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token",
  redirectUri: "http://localhost:8000/oauth2/callback",
  defaults: {
    scope: "read:user",
  },
});

type AppState = {
  session: Session;
};

const router = new Router<AppState>();
router.get("/login", async (ctx) => {
  // Construct the URL for the authorization redirect and get a PKCE codeVerifier
  const { uri, codeVerifier } = await oauth2Client.code.getAuthorizationUri();

  // Store both the state and codeVerifier in the user session
  ctx.state.session.flash("codeVerifier", codeVerifier);

  // Redirect the user to the authorization endpoint
  ctx.response.redirect(uri);
});
router.get("/oauth2/callback", async (ctx) => {
  // Make sure the codeVerifier is present for the user's session
  const codeVerifier = ctx.state.session.get("codeVerifier");
  if (typeof codeVerifier !== "string") {
    throw new Error("invalid codeVerifier");
  }

  // Exchange the authorization code for an access token
  const tokens = await oauth2Client.code.getToken(ctx.request.url, {
    codeVerifier,
  });

  // Use the access token to make an authenticated API request
  const userResponse = await fetch("https://api.github.com/user", {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${tokens.accessToken}`,
    },
  });
  const { login } = await userResponse.json();

  ctx.response.body = `Hello, ${login}!`;
});

const app = new Application<AppState>();
app.use(Session.initMiddleware());
app.use(router.allowedMethods(), router.routes());

await app.listen({ port: 8000 });

Migration

v0.*.* -> v1.*.*

With v1.0.0:

• we introduced PKCE by default for the Authorization Code Grant
• enabled stateValidator callbacks to return a Promise, to allow for e.g. accessing a database
• cleaned up interface names to prevent name clashes between e.g. the AuthorizationCodeGrant and ImplicitGrant option objects.

AuthorizationCodeGrant

• The GetUriOptions interface was renamed to AuthorizationUriOptions
• getAuthorizationUri(...) now always returns a Promise<{ uri: URL }> instead of a plain URL.
  • when using PKCE (which is now the default), getAuthorizationUri(...) returns an object containing both an URI and the codeVerifier that you'll have to pass to the getToken(...) call inside the OAuth 2.0 redirection URI handler. Check out the examples on how to achieve that by using session cookies.
  • while you should always use PKCE if possible, there are still OAuth 2.0 servers that don't support it. To opt out of PKCE, pass { disablePkce: true } to getAuthorizationUri.

ClientCredentialsGrant

• The GetClientCredentialsTokenOptions interface was renamed to ClientCredentialsTokenOptions

ImplicitGrant

• The GetUriOptions interface was renamed to ImplicitUriOptions
• The GetTokenOptions interface was renamed to ImplicitTokenOptions

ResourceOwnerPasswordCredentialsGrant

• The GetROPCTokenOptions interface was renamed to ResourceOwnerPasswordCredentialsTokenOptions

RefreshTokenGrant

• No changes necessary

v1.*.* -> v2.*.*

This package is now published to JSR and no longer to https://deno.land/x. To migrate, replace HTTP imports with the root jsr: import.

- import { OAuth2Client } from "https://deno.land/x/oauth2_client/mod.ts";
+ import { OAuth2Client } from "jsr:@cmd-johnson/oauth2-client";
