Box AppAuth SDK

https://box-content.readme.io/v2.0/docs/app-auth

Usage

You will need to create a .credentials.js folder in the root of the application using this module.

This file should look something like:

"use strict";

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
	publicKey : fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('./rsa/public_key.pem')),
	privateKey : fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('./rsa/private_key.pem')),
	algorithm : 'RS256',
	issuer : '<same as #clientId>',
	subject : '<an app id(#user) or enterprise id(#enterprise)>',
	subjectType : '<user or enterprise>',
	clientId : '<your client id>',
	clientSecret : '<you client Secret>'
};

With above, you will need to create proper public/private keys, register them with Box, and include them in your .credentials.js file.

Then simply

var appAuth = require('box-appauth');

appAuth(requireCredentialsSomehow())
.then(function(api) {

	...do something with the Promise based api

	api.folders
	.methodA({...})
	.then(function(resultOfMethodA) {
	   return api.folder.methodB()
	})
	.then(function(resultOfMethodB) {
	    // etc across as many calls as you'd like, all
	    // executed "sequentially".
	})
	.catch(function(err) {
	    ...
	})

})
.catch(function(err) {
	console.log("** Unable to authenticate **", err);
});
