Demo

Try it out now at: https://dschep.github.io/osm-auth/

Or you can run the demo locally by cloning this project, then run:

$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -subj '/CN=localhost'
$ npm start -- -S

This will start a local server on port 8080. Then open https://127.0.0.1:8080/ in a browser.

Usage

Use in Node

To install @dschep/osm-auth as a dependency in your project:

$  npm install --save @dschep/osm-auth

@dschep/osm-auth is distributed in CJS and ESM module formats for maxmimum compatibility. (Read more about Javascript module formats)

const osmAuth = require('@dschep/osm-auth').osmAuth;   // CJS named import
// or
import { osmAuth } from '@dschep/osm-auth';   // ESM named import

Use in Browsers

You can also use @dschep/osm-auth directly in a web browser. A good way to do this is to fetch the ESM module from the skypack CDN, which can even deliver minified versions.

<script type="module">
import { osmAuth } from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@dschep/osm-auth';
// example here
</script>

 

Support

This project is tested in supported node versions and modern browsers. We attempt to use JavaScript syntax that will work in legacy environments like ES5 or Internet Explorer, but offer no guarantee that it will work. If you're targeting an environment like this, you're probably already building your own bundle with something like Babel.

Registering an application

See: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OAuth#OAuth_2.0_2

Register a new OAuth2.0 application on openstreetmap.org:

  1. Go to your user page
  2. Click 'My Settings'
  3. Click 'OAuth 2 applications'
  4. At the bottom, 'Register new application'
  5. Fill in the form & submit
  6. Copy & Paste the client ID, secret, redirect URI and scope(s) into the osmAuth config object as below

👉 Important:

  • Remember to copy the client_secret after setting up your application. It won't be available later.
  • The "Redirect URIs" are URIs that OSM is allowed to redirect the user back to. You can supply multiple Redirect URIs separated by spaces, and change them later.
  • Redirect URIs must use https, except for 127.0.0.1, which may use http

Example

var redirectPath = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname;
var auth = osmAuth.osmAuth({
  client_id: "JWXSAzNp64sIRMStTnkhMRaMxSR964V4sFgn3KUZNTA",
  client_secret: "6umOXfkZqH5CVUtv6iDqN7k8o7mKbQvTrHvbDQH36hs",
  redirect_uri: redirectPath + "land.html",
  scope: "read_prefs",
  auto: true  // show a login form if the user is not authenticated and you try to do a call
});

document.getElementById("authenticate").onclick = function () {
  // Signed method call - since `auto` is true above, this will
  // automatically start an authentication process if the user isn't
  // authenticated yet.
  auth.xhr({ method: "GET", path: "/api/0.6/user/details" },
    function (err, result) {
      // result is an XML DOM containing the user details
    }
  );
};

Requires land.html to be accessible, or a page that does the same thing - calls an auth complete function - to be available.

Example with single-page

var redirectPath = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname;
var auth = osmAuth.osmAuth({
  client_id: "JWXSAzNp64sIRMStTnkhMRaMxSR964V4sFgn3KUZNTA",
  client_secret: "6umOXfkZqH5CVUtv6iDqN7k8o7mKbQvTrHvbDQH36hs",
  redirect_uri: redirectPath,
  scope: "read_prefs",
  auto: true  // show a login form if the user is not authenticated and you try to do a call
  singlepage: true,
});

document.getElementById("authenticate").onclick = function () {
  // Signed method call - since `auto` is true above, this will
  // automatically start an authentication process if the user isn't
  // authenticated yet.
  auth.xhr({ method: "GET", path: "/api/0.6/user/details" },
    function (err, result) {
      // result is an XML DOM containing the user details
    }
  );
};

if (window.location.search.includes('code')) {
  auth.authenticate(function() {
    // Fully authed at this point
  });
}

API

.osmAuth(options)

Constructs an osmAuth instance.
At a minimum, options must contain OAuth2 client ID, secret, redirect URI, and scope(s):

var redirectPath = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname;
{
  client_id: "JWXSAzNp64sIRMStTnkhMRaMxSR964V4sFgn3KUZNTA",
  client_secret: "6umOXfkZqH5CVUtv6iDqN7k8o7mKbQvTrHvbDQH36hs",
  redirect_uri: redirectPath + "land.html",
  scope: "read_prefs"
}

Additional options are:

  • access_token - Can pre-authorize with an OAuth2 bearer token if you have one
  • url - A base url (default: "https://www.openstreetmap.org")
  • auto - If true, attempt to authenticate automatically when calling .xhr() or fetch() (default: false)
  • singlepage - If true, use page redirection instead of a popup (default: false)
  • loading - Function called when auth-related xhr calls start
  • done - Function called when auth-related xhr calls end

.logout()

Removes any stored authentication tokens (legacy OAuth1 tokens too)

Returns: self

.authenticated()

Test whether the user is currently authenticated

Returns: true if authenticated, false if not

.authenticate(callback)

First logs out, then runs the authentiation flow, finally calls the callback.

Param: callback An "errback"-style callback (err, result), called when complete
Returns: none

.bringPopupWindowToFront()

Tries to bring an existing authentication popup to the front.

Returns: true on success or false if there is no authentication popup or if it couldn't be brought to the front (e.g. because of cross-origin restrictions).

.bootstrapToken(auth_code, callback)

The authorization code is a temporary code that a client can exchange for an access token. If using this library in single-page mode, you'll need to call this once your application has an auth_code and wants to get an access_token.
Param: auth_code The OAuth2 auth_code
Param: callback An "errback"-style callback (err, result), called when complete
Returns: none

.fetch(path, options)

A fetch wrapper that does authenticated calls if the user has logged in.
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetch

Param: path The URL path (e.g. "/api/0.6/user/details") (or full url, if options.prefix=false)
Param: options:
options.method Passed to fetch (e.g. 'GET', 'POST')
options.prefix If true path contains a path, if false path contains the full url
options.body Passed to fetch
options.headers optional Object containing request headers
Return: Promise that resolves to a Response if authenticated, otherwise null

.xhr(options, callback)

A XMLHttpRequest wrapper that does authenticated calls if the user has logged in.
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest

Param: options:
options.method Passed to xhr.open (e.g. 'GET', 'POST')
options.prefix If true path contains a path, if false path contains the full url
options.path The URL path (e.g. "/api/0.6/user/details") (or full url, if prefix=false)
options.content Passed to xhr.send
options.headers optional Object containing request headers
Param: callback An "errback"-style callback (err, result), called when complete
Return: XMLHttpRequest if authenticated, otherwise null

rawxhr(method, url, access_token, data, headers, callback)

Creates the XMLHttpRequest set up with a header and response handling.
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest

Param: method Passed to xhr.open (e.g. 'GET', 'POST')
Param: url Passed to xhr.open
Param: access_token The OAuth2 bearer token
Param: data Passed to xhr.send
Param: headers Object containing request headers
Param: callback An "errback"-style callback (err, result), called when complete
Return: XMLHttpRequest

.preauth(val)

Pre-authorize this object, if we already have the bearer token from the start.

Param: val Object containing access_token property
Return: self

.options(options)

Options (getter / setter)
If passed with no arguments, just return the options
If passed an Object, set the options then attempt to pre-authorize

Param: val? Object containing options
Return: current options (if getting), or self (if setting)
