Description
This package implements digest authentication for react native using the fetch library
Digest fetch takes the same parameters as whatwg/fetch, with the addition of two parameters: username and password.
If the server does not respond with a www-authenticate header this function will act exactly like fetch typically does.
Install
npm install --save react-native-digest-fetch
Usage
import fetch from 'react-native-digest-fetch';
...
digestFetch('http://api.test.com/endpoint/', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/json',
'custom-header': 'anythingyouwant',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
hello: 'world',
}),
username: 'DIGEST_AUTH_USERNAME',
password: 'DIGEST_AUTH_PASSWORD',
});
Advanced Usage
If you would like to use your own http interaction library, and just need the Digest header value, you can import getDigestHeaderValue like so:
import { getDigestHeaderValue } from 'react-native-digest-fetch';
and use it like so
getDigestHeaderValue(serverHeaders['www-authenticate'], { url, method, headers, username, password });
Web usage
This library has been tested on react-native and vanilla node, but has not been tested on a front-end node project.
