What is oauth2-server?

The oauth2-server npm package is a complete, compliant, and well-tested module for implementing an OAuth2 server in Node.js. It provides a framework for handling OAuth2 authorization and token requests, making it easier to secure APIs and manage user authentication.

What are oauth2-server's main functionalities?

Authorization Code Grant

This feature allows you to implement the Authorization Code Grant flow, which is one of the most common OAuth2 flows. The code sample demonstrates how to set up an endpoint to handle authorization requests.

const OAuth2Server = require('oauth2-server');
const Request = OAuth2Server.Request;
const Response = OAuth2Server.Response;

const oauth = new OAuth2Server({
  model: require('./model')
});

app.post('/authorize', (req, res) => {
  const request = new Request(req);
  const response = new Response(res);

  oauth.authorize(request, response)
    .then((authorizationCode) => {
      res.json(authorizationCode);
    }).catch((err) => {
      res.status(err.code || 500).json(err);
    });
});

Token Grant

This feature allows you to implement the Token Grant flow, which is used to exchange an authorization code for an access token. The code sample demonstrates how to set up an endpoint to handle token requests.

app.post('/token', (req, res) => {
  const request = new Request(req);
  const response = new Response(res);

  oauth.token(request, response)
    .then((token) => {
      res.json(token);
    }).catch((err) => {
      res.status(err.code || 500).json(err);
    });
});

Resource Server

This feature allows you to protect your API endpoints by requiring a valid access token. The code sample demonstrates how to set up an endpoint that requires authentication.

app.get('/secure', (req, res) => {
  const request = new Request(req);
  const response = new Response(res);

  oauth.authenticate(request, response)
    .then((token) => {
      res.json({ message: 'Secure data' });
    }).catch((err) => {
      res.status(err.code || 500).json(err);
    });
});
