@node-cli-toolkit/save-token v0.9.1

Save Token

A small utility to write your tokens to the file system to easily retrieve later

Installation

yarn add @node-cli-toolkit/save-token

Usage

There are two modes of usage:

Save to default file location using a tokenIdentifier

You can easily save a token to the default storage location (in /tmp) and access it using a unique identifier.

Examples of identifiers should look something like MY_APP_DROPBOX_API_TOKEN_USER_123. Remember to make it as specific as possible because it may conflict with other tokens that are using this tool. As a rule of thumb include:

• Name of your app
• Name of the token
• User ID/Email who the token belongs to

To save:

import { saveToken } from "save-token";

await saveToken({
  tokenIdentifier: "TEST_TOKEN",
  token: "I_AM_A_TOKEN"
});

To retrieve do:

import { getToken } from "save-token";

const token = await getToken({
  tokenIdentifier: "TEST_TOKEN"
});

Save token to custom file

You can also specify a custom location for your file. This is useful if you have a existing storage directory.

To save:

import { saveToken } from "save-token";

await saveToken({
  fileName: "/my/custom/location/TEST_TOKEN",
  token: "I_AM_A_TOKEN"
});

To retrieve do:

import { getToken } from "save-token";

const token = await getToken({
  fileName: "/my/custom/location/TEST_TOKEN"
});
