OAuth2 is a widely used protocol for authentication and authorization. There are many providers that support OAuth2 authentication. Here is a list of some popular providers that support OAuth2 authentication:
Google
Facebook
Twitter
Github
LinkedIn
Microsoft
Amazon
Each of these providers has their own specific OAuth2 implementation, but the general flow of the protocol is the same. You will need to provide the appropriate configuration information for each provider, such as the clientID, clientSecret, authorizationEndpoint, tokenEndpoint, and scopes.
To use the oauth2_manager package with a specific provider, you will need to consult the provider's documentation to obtain the necessary configuration information. Once you have that information, you can create an instance of the OAuth2Configuration class and pass in the appropriate parameters.
To use the Authorization Code Grant flow, first create an instance of the OAuth2Configuration
class and pass in the parameters:
import 'package:oauth2_manager/oauth2_manager.dart';
final oauth2Configuration = OAuth2Configuration(
clientID: '<client ID>',
clientSecret: '<client secret>',
authorizationEndpoint: '<authorization endpoint>',
tokenEndpoint: '<token endpoint>',
scopes: ['<scope>'],
);
call the login
method and pass in the oauth2Configuration, redirect, redirectPage, contentType:
final credentials = await OAuth2.login(
oauth2Configuration,
redirect: (uri) async {
// Open the authorization URL in the user's browser
// Example: await launch('$uri');
},
redirectPage: '<the page.html to display after authorization>',
contentType: '<content type of redirectPage>',
);
To use the Refresh Token Grant flow, call the getRefreshToken
method and pass in the refresh token and other parameters:
final newCredentials = await OAuth2.getRefreshToken(
refreshToken,
newScopes: ['<new scope>'],
clientID: oauth2Configuration.clientID,
clientSecret: oauth2Configuration.clientSecret!,
tokenEndpoint: oauth2Configuration.tokenEndpoint,
);
The Credentials
class returned by login
and getRefreshToken
has the following properties:
accessToken
: the access tokenrefreshToken
: the refresh tokenidToken
: the ID token type [jwt]expiration
: the expiration date/time of the access tokenisExpired
: a boolean indicating whether the access token has expiredcanRefresh
: a boolean indicating whether the access token can be refreshed
To use this package, add oauth2_manager
as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml
file.
