node-red-contrib-simple-oauth2 v1.0.0

node-red-contrib-oauth2

A wrapper for Simple OAuth2 client library.

Purpose

This node is intended to be used for communicating with OAuth2 protected APIs. Once you configured it, for each incoming message the node will emit a message containing the msg.payload.accessToken value which can be passed to other nodes sending messages to an OAuth protected API.

Installation

Manual installation

• In case of manual installation copy the code to the user directory of Node-RED e.g. /data/node_modules/node-red-contrib-oauth2.
• Install the dependencies via npm install and move packages one level up mv node_modules/* ...
• To make Node-RED find the code, define the NODE_PATH environment variable by adding the Node-RED installation directory first, and the user directory second. Here is an example: NODE_PATH="/usr/src/node-red/node_modules:/data/node_modules"

Unit tests

To run unit tests run npm test from the command line.

Known issues

• Node cannot start authentication from a subflow, therefore obtain the initial access token.
