oauth2-noserver-rs

Handles the oauth2 flow for installed apps that don't have a server side.

Oauth was designed for letting third party servers access your data. Which makes it a bit overcomplicated for when you simply want your users to access their data through software that runs only on their computer. This project aims to simplify that a lot for Rust projects, as a library.

Quick start

Once you have an oauth2 config...

let oauthConfig = oauth2::Config::new(
    "someID",
    "someSECRET",
    "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth",
    "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token",
)
.add_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar")
.add_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me");

...use this to open the browser, ask your user to connect to the service, and get a token back to your program to act on behalf of the user:

let authenticator = oauth2_noserver::Authenticator::new(oauthConfig);
authenticator.authenticate().unwrap();

Installing

Add this to your Cargo.toml: oauth2_noserver = "0.1.2"

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.32+
• Register an oauth app on the service you want
  • Configure it with your Authenticator's redirection URL: by default, http://localhost:14565/oauth/callback, or replace with what you specified in Authenticator.set_redirect_url()
  • get credentials once it's created (client_id and client_secret). These are the ones you need to be able to create an oauth2::Config

Configuration

• Authenticator.set_port(port): the lib will spin up a temporary server to await the token from the service on this port. Use the same port in your redirect_url, both in the Authenticator config and when you create your Oauth credentials on Optional. 14565 by default.

• Authenticator.set_redirect_url(Into<String>): set it to the same redirect_url you used when creating your oauth app on the service Optional. By default, http://localhost:14565/oauth/callback.

Examples

Minimal example

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<std::error::Error>> {
    let oauthConfig = Oauth2Config::new(
        "someID",
        "someSECRET",
        "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth",
        "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token",
    )
    .add_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar")
    .add_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me");

    let authenticator = oauth2_noserver::Authenticator::new(oauthConfig);
    authenticator.authenticate().unwrap();

    Ok(())
}

## Fully configured

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<std::error::Error>> {
    let oauthConfig = Oauth2Config::new(
        "someID",
        "someSECRET",
        "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth",
        "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token",
    )
    .add_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar")
    .add_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me");

    const PORT: u16 = 14565;
    let authenticator = oauth2_noserver::Authenticator::new(oauthConfig)
        .set_port(PORT)
        .set_redirect_url(format!("http://localhost:{}/oauth/callback", PORT));
    authenticator.authenticate().unwrap();

    Ok(())
}
