plex-api-oauth
An NPM Module designed to make Plex Media Server and plex.tv API calls easier to implement in JavaScript and React projects

https://www.npmjs.com/package/plex-api-oauth
This is a JavaScript Module written to take the OAuth Module written by @Dmbob https://github.com/Dmbob/plex-oauth and incorporate it into a front end friend frame work to make development of Plex API Based applications better
How to Use
Examples Assume React Syntax
Loading a Saved Session
LoadPlexSession:
Function returns an object that contains the plexClientInformation and plexTVAuthToken keys/values according to how they were created
const loadedSession = LoadPlexSession();
if (loadedSession.plexClientInformation == null){
loadedSession.plexClientInformation = CreatePlexClientInformation();
}
const [plexClientInformation, setPlexClientInformation] = useState(
loadedSession.plexClientInformation
);
const [plexTVAuthToken, setPlexTVAuthToken] = useState(
loadedSession.plexTVAuthToken
);
Login Button + Save Session
async function PlexLoginButton() {
const tempPlexTVAuthToken = await PlexLogin(plexClientInformation);
const tempPlexTVUserData = await GetPlexUserData(
plexClientInformation,
tempPlexTVAuthToken
);
const tempPlexServers = await GetPlexServers(
plexClientInformation,
tempPlexTVAuthToken
);
const tempPlexLibraries = await GetPlexLibraries(tempPlexServers);
setPlexTVAuthToken(tempPlexTVAuthToken);
setPlexServers(tempPlexServers);
setPlexTVUserData(tempPlexTVUserData);
setPlexLibraries(tempPlexLibraries);
SavePlexSession(plexClientInformation, tempPlexTVAuthToken);
}
Refresh Data with Saved Session
async function Refresh() {
const tempPlexTVUserData = await GetPlexUserData(
plexClientInformation,
plexTVAuthToken
);
const tempPlexServers = await GetPlexServers(
plexClientInformation,
plexTVAuthToken
);
const tempPlexDevices = await GetPlexDevices(
plexClientInformation,
plexTVAuthToken
);
const tempPlexLibraries = await GetPlexLibraries(tempPlexServers);
UpdateHubs(tempPlexServers, tempPlexLibraries);
setPlexServers(tempPlexServers);
setPlexDevices(tempPlexDevices);
setPlexTVUserData(tempPlexTVUserData);
setPlexLibraries(tempPlexLibraries);
setIsRefreshing(false);
}
Update Library list when the topic is changed (artists. albums, songs)
async function UpdateLibrary() {
setIsLoading(true);
const returnObject = await GetLibraryPages(
plexServers,
plexLibraries,
topic,
pageNumber,
250
);
console.log(returnObject);
const tempItemArray = Array.from([
...new Set([...libraryItems, ...returnObject.items]),
]);
setLibraryItems(tempItemArray);
setLibraryHasMore(returnObject.hasMore);
setIsLoading(false);
}
Intersection observer to load more library items when the callbackref object comes into view
const observer = useRef();
const lastLibraryItem = useCallback(
(node) => {
if (isLoading) return;
if (observer.current) observer.current.disconnect();
observer.current = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
if (entries[0].isIntersecting && libraryHasMore) {
setPageNumber(pageNumber + 1);
}
});
if (node) observer.current.observe(node);
console.log(node);
},
[isLoading, libraryHasMore]
);
Intersection observer Callback usage
if (libraryItems?.length === index + 100) {
return (
<Grid item xs="12" key={Obj.guid + index}>
<ListItem ref={lastLibraryItem}>
<ListItemAvatar>
<Avatar alt={NoArt} src={Obj.thumb} />
</ListItemAvatar>
<Typography variant="h6" noWrap>
{Obj.title} - {Obj.grandparentTitle} -{' '}
{Obj.parentTitle}
</Typography>
</ListItem>
</Grid>
);
}
Intersection observer to load more library items when the callbackref object comes into view
const observer = useRef();
const lastLibraryItem = useCallback(
(node) => {
if (isLoading) return;
if (observer.current) observer.current.disconnect();
observer.current = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
if (entries[0].isIntersecting && libraryHasMore) {
setPageNumber(pageNumber + 1);
}
});
if (node) observer.current.observe(node);
console.log(node);
},
[isLoading, libraryHasMore]
);
Get Plex Music Hub data
async function UpdateHubs(plexClientInformation, plexServers, plexLibraries) {
const tempMusicHubs = await GetMusicHub(
plexClientInformation,
plexServers,
plexLibraries
);
setMusicHubs(tempMusicHubs);
}
