cordova-plugin-oauth

This plugin provides a mechanism for showing an OAuth flow in a secured system-provided browser view and receiving the result via a Message event.

On iOS, this uses ASWebAuthenticationSession (iOS >=12), SFAuthenticationSession (iOS 11), SFSafariViewController (iOS >=8, <=10), falling back to Safari.

On Android, this uses Custom Tabs in the user's preferred web application, falling back to their browser.

Note: This plugin might conflict with the Cordova In-App Browser plugin!

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-oauth [--variable URL_SCHEME=mycoolapp]

By default, the plugin registers the app ID as a scheme to be used as the OAuth callback URL, and expects a host of oauth_callback (i.e., if your app's ID is com.example.foo, your OAuth redirect URL should be com.example.foo://oauth_callback).

The scheme for the OAuth callback URL can be changed by providing a URL_SCHEME variable when installing. If your URL_SCHEME is mycoolapp, then your OAuth redirect URL should be mycoolapp://oauth_callback.

Supported Platforms

• iOS (cordova-ios >= 6.1.0)
• Android (cordova-android >= 8.0.0)

Usage

1. Trigger the plugin by opening the OAuth login page in a new window, with a window name that includes "oauth:":

   var endpoint = 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?....';
   window.open(endpoint, 'oauth:google', '');

2. The plugin will open the OAuth login page in a new browser window.

3. When the OAuth process is complete and it redirects to your app scheme, the plugin will send a message to the Cordova app.

   The message begins with oauth:: and is followed by a JSON object containing all of the key/value pairs from the OAuth redirect query string.

   // Called from a callback URL like
   // com.example.foo://oauth_callback?code=b10a8db164e0754105b7a99be72e3fe5
   // it would be received in JavaScript like this:
   
   window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
     if (event.data.match(/^oauth::/)) {
       var data = JSON.parse(event.data.substring(7));
   
       // Use data.code
     }
   }

   The advantage of this implementation is that it can be made to work with Universal Links and App Links so that the same flow can be used in both mobile apps and web.
