neuron-synapse v0.1.0

Neuron-Synapse

A library for Encentivize app writers for aquiring and managing Oauth2.0 app-tokens. The library will use an in-memory cache to ensure that tokens are not needlessly requested

installation

npm install --save neuron-synapse

Usage

Once you have your clientId and client Secret, in the root of your app (reccomended) add the following:

var neuronSynapse = require('neuron-synapse);
neuronSynapse.initialise({
    neuronBaseUrl: "<linkToNeuronBaseUrl>",
    clientId: "<yourClientId>",
    clientSecret: "<yourClientSecret>"
});

Then when you need a token for your app, simply use the following code snippet:

var neuronSynapse = require('neuron-synapse');
var programName = req.programName; // get the program name somehow, might be stored in config or based on the req.path etc
neuronSynapse.getClientToken({
	programName: programName,
    scope: "<Space seprated list of scopes you require>"
}, getTokenDone);

function getTokenDone(error, token) {
	if (error) {
		throw error; //Ensure you have graceful error handling
	}

... // call the Encentivize api using the supplied bearer token
})
