Auth0 Token

Getting an access token for your API.

This can be used for integration testing, to dynamically obtain tokens when needed. No hardcoded accessTokens, no mocking.

Auth0 Setup

• In your Auth0 Dashboard create a new API if you didn't already do so (you can copy the API Identifier right away and paste into the config)
• Head over to "Applications", there should be a Machine-to-Machine application with the same name as your API and "(Test Application)"
• Click on the Test Application to see the settings
• In the very bottom, click "Show Advanced Settings"
• Go to the tab "Grant Types"
• Select "Password" (this enables user/password requests for this library)

Usage

From the auth0 API, copy:

• API IDENTIFIER (ie. "auth0-get-token") as AUTH0_AUDIENCE

From the auth0 Application, copy:

• Domain as AUTH0_BASE_URL (add https://)
• Client ID as AUTH0_CLIENT_ID
• Client Secret as AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET

Then, you can retrieve a token:

const getToken = require('auth0-get-token')
const tokens = await getToken('username', 'test-password')
