What is @octokit/oauth-methods?

The @octokit/oauth-methods package provides a set of methods to implement GitHub OAuth authentication in Node.js applications. It simplifies the process of implementing OAuth flows, handling tokens, and managing OAuth applications.

What are @octokit/oauth-methods's main functionalities?

Creating an OAuth device code

This feature allows you to create a new OAuth device code. It's useful for devices that don't have a browser or have limited input capabilities.

{"async createOAuthDeviceCode({ clientType, clientId, scopes }) { const result = await oauthMethods.createOAuthDeviceCode({ clientType, clientId, scopes }); return result; }}

Exchanging a device code for an OAuth token

After obtaining a device code, this method can be used to exchange it for an OAuth token, completing the authentication process.

{"async exchangeDeviceCode({ clientType, clientId, deviceCode }) { const result = await oauthMethods.exchangeDeviceCode({ clientType, clientId, deviceCode }); return result; }}

Refreshing an OAuth token

This feature is used to refresh an expired OAuth token, allowing for continued access without requiring the user to re-authenticate.

{"async refreshToken({ clientType, clientId, refreshToken }) { const result = await oauthMethods.refreshToken({ clientType, clientId, refreshToken }); return result; }}

Checking a token's authentication

This method checks the validity of an OAuth token, which is useful for verifying that a token has not been revoked or expired.

{"async checkToken({ auth }) { const result = await oauthMethods.checkToken({ auth }); return result; }}

Resetting a token

This feature allows you to reset an OAuth token, which can be useful in situations where token security may be compromised.

{"async resetToken({ auth }) { const result = await oauthMethods.resetToken({ auth }); return result; }}
