AccessClient

The AccessClient class is designed to simplify authentication and token management for HTTP requests.

Installation

npm install @kbabichau/access-integration-client

Usage

To use AccessClient, start by importing it at the top of your script:

import AccessClient, { AccessEnvironment } from '@kbabichau/access-integration-client';

Then, instantiate the AccessClient class, passing in your configuration object:

const client = new AccessClient({
  environment: AccessEnvironment.Staging,
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret'
});

You can then use various methods such as getToken() to retrieve an access token, and getExchangedToken(aud) to retrieve an access token that has been exchanged for a specified audience.

const accessToken = await client.getToken(); // Retrieves an access token
const exchangedToken = await client.getExchangedToken('external-system-client-id'); // Retrieves an access token exchanged for a specified audience

Example of typical usage for integration with external system:

const client = new AccessClient({
  environment: AccessEnvironment.Staging,
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret'
});

const token = await client.getExchangedToken('external-system-client-id');

const response = await axios.get('external-system.com/api/articles', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`
  }
});
