The available platform values are ios and android.

Install the plugin

Install the aerogear-oauth2-cordova plugin by executing:

Sample example

In wwww/js/index.js file, to start the OAuth2 dance as soon as onDeviceReady event is fired, add the following snippet:

  onDeviceReady: function () {
    app.receivedEvent('deviceready');
    oauth2.addGoogle({
      name: 'gplus',
      settings: {
        clientId: "617285928032-nnkcrot1827fmd738pug6clbqlgosffs.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        scopes: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'
      }
    });

    oauth2.addKeycloak({
      name: 'keycloak',
      settings: {
        base: 'http://192.168.1.15:8080/auth',
        clientId: 'shoot-third-party',
        realm: "shoot-realm"
      }
    });

    oauth2.addFacebook({
      name: 'facebook',
      settings: {
        clientId: '1511044619160050',
        clientSecret: '3b08052d3d96e2120f2c53a36eebd02f',
        scopes: 'photo_upload, publish_actions'
      }
    });

    oauth2.gplus.requestAccess()
      .then(function (token) {
        console.log(token);
        // add token to the http header on futher http requests:
        // 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
      }, function (err) {
        alert(err.error);
      });
  },

Google Play Services

On Android you can use Google Play Services to retrieve an Oauth2 token using on of the device's authorized accounts. To make the Google Play Services available to your application, be sure to add the com.google.playservices cordova plugin to your project. Then request an Oauth2 token using Google Play Services as in this example:

   oauth2.requestAccessUsingPlayServices({
        scopes: 'openid',
        accountTypes: 'com.google'
     })
     .then( function( accessToken ){
        ...
     })
     .catch( function( error ) {
        // an error happened
     });
   });

Facebook iOS

For our OAuth2 on iOS plugin we use external browser approach, in order to re-enter the app you need to provide a URI schema. This is called the redirect_uri. By convention Google uses your iOS bundle. Facebook uses as redirect_uri 2 letters fb followed by the client_id. As the client_id is not in your config.xml, once the project is deployed you will have to go to [project_name]-info.plist and modify it to change fbYYY where YYY is your facebook client_id.

Xcode

When you need / want to build the project with Xcode you'll need to make some changes to the project

Todo

This is a very early version:

• expose refreshToken, revokeToken
