Dropbox App
Create and Manage your Dropbox App here: Dropbox App Console.
Init
// var app = [initiate app...]
// var database = [initiate database...] see Database
var ExpressDropboxOAuth = require('express-dropbox-oauth');
var credentials = {
key: 'myAppKey',
secret: 'myAppSecret'
};
var expressDropboxAuth = new ExpressDropboxOAuth(credentials, database);
Use
See Example App
Authenticate
Try to create Auth-Token in Database.
function errorRoute(err, req, res, next) {
res.send('Authentication failed with error: ' + err);
}
app.get('/authenticate', expressDropboxAuth.doAuth(errorRoute), function(req, res) {
res.send('Authentication succeeded!');
});
Check Auth
Check if Auth-Token exists and is working.
function errorRoute(err, req, res, next) {
res.send('Restricted Area!');
}
app.get('/onlyAuthenticated', expressDropboxAuth.checkAuth(errorRoute), function(req, res) {
res.send('Hey Mate!');
});
Log Out
Remove Auth-Token from Database and reset client.
function errorRoute(err, req, res, next) {
res.send('Logout failed, please retry.');
}
app.get('/logout', expressDropboxAuth.logout(errorRoute), function(req, res) {
res.send('Bye...');
});
Dropbox Client
Use dropbox-js for something fancy.
app.get('/profile', expressDropboxAuth.checkAuth(), function(req, res) {
expressDropboxAuth.dropboxClient.getUserInfo(function(err, user) {
res.send('Hello ' + user.name);
});
});
Database
We can use any Database adapter from idkeyvalue.
For example NeDB
// var userId = [initiate userId if needed. Leave empty for single user stuff]
var Datastore = require('nedb');
var NedbAdapter = require('idkeyvalue').NedbAdapter
// See nedb documentation for In-Memory databases etc.
var database = new Datastore(filename: 'myDatabase.nedb', autoload: true);
var databaseAdapter = new NedbAdapter(database, userId);
var expressDropboxAuth = new ExpressDropboxAuth(credentials, databaseAdapter);
// Do crazy stuff now! (see Use)
Example App
Run coffee scripts/example.coffee --appKey=myAppKey --appSecret=myAppSecret
This starts up an example server http://localhost:3000 with an in-memory database.
Options:
--appKey Required: The Key of our App
--appSecret Required: The Secret of our App
--databaseFile Use (and create) the given database file instead of just memory
--userId Fake another user (requires --databaseFile)
--port Use another port (Default: 3000)
