Examples

In all examples below, callback is a function accepting two parameters: error and response.

function callback (err, res) {
    console.log('Token: ' + res);
}

Example 1

// Prompt for username, password, two-factor auth code if required,
// and return to the callback a GitHub token with basic scope.
oauth({
    name: 'moonrise-kingdom'
}, callback);

Example 2

// Prompt for a token for read/write access to all repositories
// and organisations and write access to Gists.
// More scopes: https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes
oauth({
    name: 'rushmore',
    scopes: ['repo', 'gist']
}, callback);

See that the token exists.

oauth({
    name: 'the-life-aquatic',

        code: 'Enter two-factor authorisation code'
    }
}, callback);

Example 4

// Use own prompt. Must deal with two-factor authentication.
// Ask for username and password and store in an object. For this example, and
// to avoid getting bogged down in callback-hell, we have them already available.
var auth = {
    username: 'Margot',
    password: 'RichieLovesMe'
};
// Setup a function to call oauth with a code.
function getToken (code) {
    // Get a token with a two-factor authentication code.
    var authOptions = {
        name: 'the-royal-tenenbaums'
        username: auth.username,
        password: auth.password,
    };
    if (code) {
        authOptions.code = code;
    }
    oauth(authOptions, function (err, token) {
        console.log(token);
    });
}
// Test to see if a code is required for a given username and password.
oauth.requiresCode(auth, function (err, hasTwoFactorAuth) {
    if (!hasTwoFactorAuth) {
        // No need for a code.
        getToken();
    } else {
        // You need to get a two-factor authentication code from
        // the user.
        myCodePrompt(function (err, code) {
            getToken(code);
        });
    }
});
