Intuit OAuth2.0 NodeJS Library

The OAuth2 Nodejs Client library is meant to work with Intuit's OAuth2.0 and OpenID Connect implementations which conforms to the specifications.

Requirements

The Node.js client library is tested against the Node >= 6.0.0

Installation

Follow the instructions below to use the library :

Using NodeJS

Install the NPM package:
```
npm install intuit-oauth --save
```

Require the Library:

var OAuthClient = require('intuit-oauth');

var oauthClient = new OAuthClient({
    clientId: '<Enter your clientId>',
    clientSecret: '<Enter your clientSecret>',
    environment: 'sandbox' || 'production',
    redirectUri: '<Enter your callback URL>'
});

Options :

clientId - clientID for your app. Required
clientSecret - clientSecret fpor your app. Required
environment - environment for the client. Required
- sandbox - for authorizing in sandbox.
- production - for authorizing in production.
redirectUri - redirectUri on your app to get the authorizationCode from Intuit Servers. Required
logging - by default, logging is disabled i.e false. To enable providetrue.

Usage

We assume that you have a basic understanding about OAuth2.0. If not please read API Documentation for clear understanding

Authorization Code Flow

The Authorization Code flow is made up of two parts :

Step 1. Redirect user to oauthClient.authorizeUri(options).
Step 2. Parse response uri and get access-token using the function oauthClient.createToken(req.url) which returns a Promise.

Step 1

// Instance of client
var oauthClient = new OAuthClient({
    clientId: '<Enter your clientId>',
    clientSecret: '<Enter your clientSecret>',
    environment: 'sandbox',
    redirectUri: '<http://localhost:8000/callback>'
});

// AuthorizationUri
var authUri = oauthClient.authorizeUri({scope:[OAuthClient.scopes.Accounting,OAuthClient.scopes.OpenId],state:'testState'});  // can be an array of multiple scopes ex : {scope:[OAuthClient.scopes.Accounting,OAuthClient.scopes.OpenId]}


// Redirect the authUri 
res.redirect(authUri);

Scopes :

The available scopes include :

com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting - for accounting scope include OAuthClient.scopes.Accounting
com.intuit.quickbooks.payment - for payment scope include OAuthClient.scopes.Payment

OpenID Scopes :

openid - for openID assertion include OAuthClient.scopes.Openid
profile - for profile assertion include OAuthClient.scopes.Profile
email - for email assertion include OAuthClient.scopes.Email
phone - for phone assertion include OAuthClient.scopes.Phone
address - for address assertion include OAuthClient.scopes.Address

Step 2

// Parse the redirect URL for authCode and exchange them for tokens
var parseRedirect = req.url;

// Exchange the auth code retrieved from the **req.url** on the redirectUri
oauthClient.createToken(parseRedirect)
    .then(function(authResponse) {
        console.log('The Token is  '+ JSON.stringify(authResponse.getJson()));
    })
    .catch(function(e) {
        console.error("The error message is :"+e.originalMessage);
        console.error(e.intuit_tid);
    });

Sample

For more clarity, we suggest you take a look at the sample application below :

Helpers

Is AccessToken Valid

You can check if the access_token associated with the oauthClient is valid ( not expired ) or not using the helper method.

if(oauthClient.isAccessTokenValid()) {
    console.log("The access_token is valid");
} 

if(!oauthClient.isAccessTokenValid()){
    
    oauthClient.refresh()
        .then(function(authResponse) {
            console.log('Tokens refreshed : ' + JSON.stringify(authResponse.json()));
        })
        .catch(function(e) {
            console.error("The error message is :"+e.originalMessage);
            console.error(e.intuit_tid);
        });
    
}

** Note: If the access_token is not valid, you can call the client's refresh() method to refresh the tokens for you as shown below

Refresh access_token

Access tokens are valid for 3600 seconds (one hour), after which time you need to get a fresh one using the latest refresh_token returned to you from the previous request. When you request a fresh access_token, always use the refresh token returned in the most recent token_endpoint response. Your previous refresh tokens expire 24 hours after you receive a new one.

    oauthClient.refresh()
        .then(function(authResponse) {
            console.log('Tokens refreshed : ' + JSON.stringify(authResponse.json()));
        })
        .catch(function(e) {
            console.error("The error message is :"+e.originalMessage);
            console.error(e.intuit_tid);
        });

Refresh access_token by passing the refresh_token explicitly

You can call the below helper method to refresh tokens by explictly passing the refresh_token.
**Note : refresh_token should be of the type string

    oauthClient.refreshUsingToken('<Enter the refresh token>')
        .then(function(authResponse) {
            console.log('Tokens refreshed : ' + JSON.stringify(authResponse.json()));
        })
        .catch(function(e) {
            console.error("The error message is :"+e.originalMessage);
            console.error(e.intuit_tid);
        });

Revoke access_token

When you no longer need the access_token, you could use the below helper method to revoke the tokens. You can also optionally pass the access_token or refresh_token to this helper method :

oauthClient.revoke(params)
        .then(function(authResponse) {
            console.log('Tokens revoked : ' + JSON.stringify(authResponse.json()));
        })
        .catch(function(e) {
            console.error("The error message is :"+e.originalMessage);
            console.error(e.intuit_tid);
        });

** Note ** : params is the Token JSON object as shown below :

{
    "token_type": "bearer",
    "expires_in": 3600,
    "refresh_token":"<refresh_token>",
    "x_refresh_token_expires_in":15552000,
    "access_token":"<access_token>"
}

** Note ** : If you do not pass the params then the token object of the client would be considered.

Getter / Setter for Token

You can call the below methods to set and get the tokens using the oauthClient instance:

Retrieve the Token :

// To get the tokens 
var authToken = oauthClient.getToken().getToken();

`OR`

var authToken = oauthClient.token.getToken();

Set the Token :

// To Set the retrieved tokens explicitly using Token Object but the same instance
oauthClient.setToken(authToken);        


OR 

// To set the retrieved tokens using a new client instance    
var oauthClient = new OAuthClient({
    clientId: '<Enter your clientId>',
    clientSecret: '<Enter your clientSecret>',
    environment: 'sandbox',
    redirectUri: '<http://localhost:8000/callback>',
    token: authToken
});

The authToken parameters are as follows:

{
    token_type: '<String>',
    access_token: '<String>',
    expires_in: '<Int> Seconds',
    refresh_token: '<String>',
    x_refresh_token_expires_in: '<Int>  Seconds',
    id_token: "(Optional Default = '') <String>",
    createdAt: '(Optional Default = Date.now()) <Milliseconds> from the unix epoch'
}

Note :
The OAuth Client library converts the accessToken and refreshToken expiry time to TimeStamp. If you are setting a stored token, please pass in the createdAt for accurate experiations.

oauthClient.setToken(authToken);

Migrate OAuth1.0 Tokens to OAuth2.0

You can call the below method to migrate the bearer / refresh tokens from OAuth1.0 to OAuth2.0. You

// Fill in the params object ( argument to the migrate function )

var params = {
    oauth_consumer_key : '<Enter oauth1ConsumerKey>',
    oauth_consumer_secret : '<Enter oauth1ConsumerSecret>',
    oauth_signature_method : 'HMAC-SHA1',
    oauth_timestamp : Math.round(new Date().getTime()/1000),
    oauth_nonce : 'nonce',
    oauth_version : '1.0',
    access_token : '<Enter OAuth1.0 access_token>',
    access_secret : '<Enter OAuth1.0 access_secret>',
    scope : [OAuthClient.scopes.Accounting]
}

oauthClient.migrate(params)
    .then(function(response){
        console.log('The response is '+ JSON.stringify(response));
    })
    .catch(function(e) {
        console.log('The error is '+e.message);
    });

Validate ID Token

You can validate the ID token obtained from Intuit Authorization Server as shown below :

 oauthClient.validateIdToken()
        .then(function(response){
            console.log('Is my ID token validated  : ' + response);
        })
        .catch(function(e) {
            console.log('The error is '+ JSON.stringify(e));
        });

        // Is my ID token validated : true

The client validates the ID Token and returns boolean true if validates successfully else it would throw an exception.

Auth-Response

The response provided by the client is a wrapped response of the below items which is what we call authResponse, lets see how it looks like:


    1. response             // response from `HTTP Client` used by library
    2. token                // instance of `Token` Object    
    3. body                 // res.body in `text`  
    4. json                 // res.body in `JSON`
    5. intuit_tid           // `intuit-tid` from response headers

A sample AuthResponse object would look similar to :

{  
      "token":{  
         "realmId":"<realmId>",
         "token_type":"bearer",
         "access_token":"<access_token>",
         "refresh_token":"<refresh_token>",
         "expires_in":3600,
         "x_refresh_token_expires_in":8726400,
         "id_token":"<id_token>",
         "latency":60000
      },
      "response":{  
         "url":"https://oauth.platform.intuit.com/oauth2/v1/tokens/bearer",
         "headers":{  
            "content-type":"application/json;charset=UTF-8",
            "content-length":"61",
            "connection":"close",
            "server":"nginx",
            "strict-transport-security":"max-age=15552000",
            "intuit_tid":"1234-1234-1234-123",
            "cache-control":"no-cache, no-store",
            "pragma":"no-cache"
         },
         "body":"{\"id_token\":\"<id_token>\",\"expires_in\":3600,\"token_type\":\"bearer\",\"x_refresh_token_expires_in\":8726400,\"refresh_token\":\"<refresh_token>\",\"access_token\":\"<access_token>\"}",
         "status":200,
         "statusText":"OK"
      },
      "body":"{\"id_token\":\"<id_token>\",\"expires_in\":3600,\"token_type\":\"bearer\",\"x_refresh_token_expires_in\":8726400,\"refresh_token\":\"<refresh_token>\",\"access_token\":\"<access_token>\"}",
      "json":{
        "access_token": "<access_token>",
        "refresh_token": "<refresh_token>",
        "token_type": "bearer",
        "expires_in": "3600",
        "x_refresh_token_expires_in": "8726400",
        "id_token": "<id_token>"
      },
      "intuit_tid":"4245c696-3710-1548-d1e0-d85918e22ebe"
}

You can use the below helper methods to make full use of the Auth Response Object :

oauthClient.createToken(parseRedirect)
    .then(function(authResponse) {
        console.log('The Token in JSON is  '+ JSON.stringify(authResponse.getJson()));
        var status = authResponse.status();
        var body = authResponse.text();
        var jsonResponse = authResponse.getJson();
        var intuit_tid = authResponse.get_intuit_tid();
    });

Error Logging

By default the logging is disabled i.e set to false. However, to enable logging, pass logging=true when you create the oauthClient instance :

var oauthClient = new OAuthClient({
    clientId: '<Enter your clientId>',
    clientSecret: '<Enter your clientSecret>',
    environment: 'sandbox',
    redirectUri: '<http://localhost:8000/callback>',
    logging: true
});

The logs would be captured under the directory /logs/oAuthClient-log.log

Whenever there is an error, the library throws an exception and you can use the below helper methods to retrieve more information :

oauthClient.createToken(parseRedirect)
        .catch(function(error) {
            console.log(error);
        });


/**
* This is how the Error Object Looks : 
{  
   "originalMessage":"Response has an Error",
   "error":"invalid_grant",
   "error_description":"Token invalid",
   "intuit_tid":"4245c696-3710-1548-d1e0-d85918e22ebe"
}
*/
