`netlify-cms-oauth-client`

How to install

npm i @stefanprobst/netlify-cms-oauth-client

How to set up

import { createHandlers } from "@stefanprobst/netlify-cms-oauth-client";

const handlers = createHandlers();

Then, use handlers.authorize and handlers.callback as request handlers for the /api/oauth/authorize and /api/oauth/callback API routes. How exactly to do this will depend on the framework you are using.

How to configure

The following example assumes a website deployed at https://example.com, with the API routes for the OAuth flow at /api/oauth/authorize and /api/oauth/callback.

(i) Create a new OAuth app on GitHub to get a "Client ID" and "Client secret". Set the "Authorization callback URL" to https://example.com/api/oauth/callback.

(ii) Add configuration to NetlifyCMS, and set environment variables.

backend:
  name: github
  repo: owner/repo
  branch: main
  base_url: https://example.com
  auth_endpoint: /api/oauth/authorize

OAUTH_PROVIDER=github
# GitHub OAuth app client id.
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=
# GitHub OAuth app client secret.
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=
# GitHub OAuth app callback URL.
OAUTH_REDIRECT_URL=https://example.com/api/oauth/callback
# Deployed website's base URL.
OAUTH_ALLOWED_ORIGIN=https://example.com

Note: you can add environment variables to your Vercel deployment via CLI:
