Freedom! Accounts Util

A utility helper for OAuth2.0 calls to Freedom! Accounts that supports caching.

Installation:

With NPM:

npm install freedom-accounts-util --save

With Yarn:

yarn add freedom-accounts-util

Setup:

const accounts = require('freedom-accounts-util');

accounts.configure({
    base_url: '',
    path: '',
    client_id: '',
    client_secret: '',
    client_expiry: 300,
    server_expiry: 300,
    disable_caching: false,
    retry_count: 3}
);
// or
accounts.configure(config.ACCOUNTS);

Notes:

• Client and server expiry are in seconds.
• disable_caching disables caching when true (useful for tests).
• retry_count refers to the maximum number of retries for cuddle requests to accounts. Default value is 3 but it can be configured by service that uses it.

Usage:

For Express Servers:

accounts.verify_scopes([...scopes]); // Express middleware

For calls to

accounts.generate_token([...scopes]); // Returns promise
accounts.refresh_token('refresh_token'); // Returns promise

Caching:

Caching works in the following way:

• Access tokens with the same scopes are cached together (regardless of order)
• Refreshing an access token will look for a cached scopes with that refresh token and update that key to contain the new access token
• The verify_scopes middleware caches the output of tokeninfo with the access token as the key
