@otplib/core-async

Async aware versions of otplib methods

This library adds async aware versions of methods that are found in @otplib/core. Refer to the main otplib documentation instead for the non-async version.

Install

npm install --save @otplib/core-async

Getting Started

There are 2 was to use async - using async replacements, or handling digests separately.

Using Async Replacements

This is the simplest way to get started. Other than allOptions() and resetOptions, all other methods are converted to async and thus needs to be Promise.resolve or await. eg: await .generate(...), await .check(...)

import { AuthenticatorAsync } from '@otplib/core-async';

const authenticator = new AuthenticatorAsync({
  // ...options
  // make sure you use async versions of
  // required functions like createDigest.
});

// Note: await needed as all methods are async
const token = await authenticator.generate(secret);

Async over Sync Methods

In this method, you would essentially take over the digest generation, leaving the library to handle the digest to token conversion.

import { Authenticator } from '@otplib/core';
import { authenticatorDigestAsync } from '@otplib/core-async';

// This is a synchronous Authenticator class.
const authenticator = new Authenticator({
  // ...options
});

// Override the digest generation.
const digest = await authenticatorDigestAsync(secret, {
  ...authenticator.allOptions(),
  createDigest: async (algorithm, hmacKey, counter) => 'string'; // put your async implementation
});

authenticator.options = { digest };
const token = authenticator.generate(secret);

// recommended: reset to remove the digest.
authenticator.resetOptions();

// reference test in: ./packages/tests-builds/example.test.js

References

Async Methods

All async functions are suffixed with Async except for class methods. eg: await authenticatorTokenAsync(...) instead of authenticatorToken(...)

Check the API Documentation for the full list of async functions.

Async Options

The following options are modified for functions and classes which are suffixed with Async.

eg: AuthenticatorAsync, totpDigestAsync, hotpTokenAsync etc.
