OAuth2 Client Ruby

Gem Version Build Status Dependency Status Coverage Status

A Ruby wrapper based on the OAuth 2.0 specification for build oauth2 clients. It is designed with the philosophy that many oauth2 providers implement OAuth 2.0 differently and not exactly according to the RFC. With this gem, a developer has some degree of flexibilty in creating a client that will work with different OAuth2 providers. This flexibilty comes at the same price of having to implement a few things yourself. To that effect, an access token response is returned as an HTTPResponse from which the response body can be extracted. It turns out that not every oauth2 providers returns tokens in the same format. Therefore, rather than make assumptions about the token response, this gem leaves that responsiblity to the developer.

Bundled with the gem are working sample clients for Google, Yammer and Github. The structure of the clients is easy to follow thus making it possible to simply copy code from one client and simply substitute the rights credentials and request URL paths.

Installation

gem install oauth2-client

Resources

Usage Examples

require 'oauth2'

@client  = OAuth2Client::Client.new('https://example.com', 's6BhdRkqt3', '4hJZY88TCBB9q8IpkeualA2lZsUhOSclkkSKw3RXuE')

client.authorization_code.authorization_path(:redirect_uri => 'http://localhost/oauth2/cb')
# => "/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Foauth2%2Fcb"

Authorization Grants

The client wraps around the creation of any given grant and passing in the parameters defined in the configuration file. The supported grants include Authorization Code, Implicit, Resource Owner Password Credentials, Client Credentials. There is also support for device authentication as described in Google's OAuth 2.0 authentication methods(https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ForDevices). They are available via the authorization_code, implicit, password, client_credentials, refresh_token and device methods on a client object.

The get_token method on the grants does not make any assumptions about the format ofthe response from the OAuth provider. The ideal case would be to treat all responses as JSON. However, some services may respond with in XML instead of JSON. The get_token method therefore, returns with an HTTPResponse object.

Authorization Code

auth_url = client.authorization_code.authorization_path(:redirect_uri => 'http://localhost/oauth2/cb')
# => "/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Foauth2%2Fcb"

token_url = client.authorization_code.token_path(
    :code => aXW2c6bYz, 
    :redirect_uri => 'http://localhost/oauth2/cb')
# => "/oauth/token?redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Foauth%2Fcb&client_secret={client_secret}&grant_type=authorization_code&client_id={client_id}&code=aXW2c6bYz"

Implicit Grant

auth_url = client.implicit.authorization_path(:redirect_uri => 'http://localhost/oauth2/cb')
# => "oauth/?redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Foauth%2Fcb&response_type=token&client_id={client_id}"

Password Credentials

token = client.password.get_token('username', 'password')

Refresh Token

token = client.refresh_token.get_token(refresh_token_value, :params => {:scope => 'abc xyz', :state => 'state'})

Client Credentials

token = client.client_credentials.get_token

Device Code

auth_url = client.device_code.authorization_path(:scope => 'abc xyz', :state => 'state')
# => "/oauth/device/code?scope=abc+xyz&state=state&client_id={client_id}"

# exchange device authorization code for access token
token = client.device_code.get_token(device_auth_code)

Using a custom Http wrapper

By default, oauth2-client uses a Net::HTTP wrapper called OAuth2Client::HttpConnection. However, if you wish to use a different HTTP library, you only need to create a wrapper around your favorite library that will respond to the send_request method.

class TyphoeusHttpConnection
  
  def initialize(site_url, connection_options={})
    # set url and connection options
    @site_url = site_url
    @connection_options = connection_options
  end

  def base_url(path)
    @site_url + path
  end

  def send_request(http_method, request_path, options={})
    # options may contain optional arguments like http headers, request parameters etc
    # send http request over the inter-webs

    params          = options[:params] || {}
    headers         = options[:headers]|| {}
    method          = method.to_sym
    client          = Typhoeus

    case method
    when :get, :delete
      #pass
    when :post, :put
      options[:body] = options.delete(:params) if options[:params]
    else
      raise UnhandledHTTPMethodError.new("Unsupported HTTP method, #{method}")
    end
    response = client.send(http_method, base_url(request_path), params)
  end
end

# now you can initialize the OAuth2 client with you custom client and expect that all requests
# will be sent using this client
oauth_client = OAuth2Client::Client.new('example.com', client_id, client_secret, {
  :connection_client  => TyphoeusHttpConnection,
  :connection_options => {}
})

Client Examples

This library comes bundled with two sample implementations of Google and Yammer OAuth clients. These clients are meant to showcase the degree of flexibilty that you get when using this library to interact with other OAuth 2.0 providers.

Google Client

google_client = GoogleClient.new('https://accounts.google.com', '827502413694.apps.googleusercontent.com','a2nQpcUm2Dgq1chWdAvbXGTk')

Client-side authorization URL(Implicit grant)

# generate authorization url
auth_url = google_client.webserver_authorization_url(
    :scope => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
    :state => '/profile',
    :redirect_uri => 'https://oauth2-login-demo.appspot.com/code',
    :approval_prompt => 'force')
# => https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fuserinfo.email&state=%2Fprofile&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foauth2-login-demo.appspot.com%2Ftoken&approval_prompt=force&response_type=token&client_id=812741506391.apps.googleusercontent.com

Server-side authorization URL(Authorization code grant)

# generate authorization url
auth_url = google_client.clientside_authorization_url(
    :scope => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
    :state => '/profile',
    :redirect_uri => 'http://localhost/oauth/code',
    :approval_prompt => 'force')
# => https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fuserinfo.email&state=%2Fprofile&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Foauth2-login-demo.appspot.com%2Fcode&approval_prompt=force&response_type=code&client_id=812741506391.apps.googleusercontent.com

# exchange authorization code for access token. we will get back a Net::HTTPResponse
response = google_client.exchange_auth_code_for_token(
  :params => {
    :code => '4/dbB0-UD1cvrQg2EuEFtRtHwPEmvR.IrScsjgB5M4VuJJVnL49Cc8QdUjRdAI',
    :redirect_uri => 'http://localhost/oauth/token'
  }
)
response.inspect 
# => #<Net::HTTPOK:0x007ff8bc7c1200>

response.body
# => {
#  "access_token" : "ya91.AHES8ZS-oCZnc5yHepnsosFjNln9ZKLuioF6FcMRCGUIzA",
#  "token_type" : "Bearer",
#  "expires_in" : 3600,
#  "id_token" : "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjY4ZGM2ZmIxNDQ5OGJmMWRhNjNiMWYyMDA2YmRmMDA2N2Q4MzY",
#  "refresh_token" : "6/Ju8uhi9xOctGEyHRzWwHhaYimfxmY0tiJ_qW3qvjWXM"
#}

Github Client

gihub_client = GithubClient.new('https://github.com', '82f971d013e8d637a7e1', '1a1d59e1f8b8afa5f73e9dc9f17e25f7876e64ac')

Server-side authorization URL(Authorization code grant)

# generate authorization url
auth_url = gihub_client.webserver_authorization_url
# => https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=82f971d013e8d637a7e1&response_type=code

# exchange authorization code for access token. we will get back a Net::HTTPResponse
response = gihub_client.exchange_auth_code_for_token({
    :code => '11a0b0b64db56c30e2ef',
    :redirect_uri => 'https://localhost/callback',
  })

response.inspect 
# => #<Net::HTTPOK:0x007ff8bc7c1200>

response.body
# => {
#      "access_token" : "e409f4272fe539166a77c42479de030e7660812a",
#      "token_type" : "bearer"
#    }"
