OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization.
OAuth 2.0 focuses on client developer simplicity while providing specific authorization flows for web applications,
desktop applications, mobile phones, and living room devices.
This is a RubyGem for implementing OAuth 2.0 clients and servers in Ruby applications.
See the sibling oauth gem for OAuth 1.0 implementations in Ruby.

Targeted ruby compatibility is non-EOL versions of Ruby, currently 2.7, 3.0 and
3.1. Compatibility is further distinguished by supported and unsupported versions of Ruby.
Ruby is limited to 2.2+ for 2.x releases. See 1-4-stable branch for older rubies.
Ruby Engine Compatibility Policy
This gem is tested against MRI, JRuby, and Truffleruby. Each of those has varying versions that target a specific version of MRI Ruby. This gem should work in the just-listed Ruby engines according to the targeted MRI compatibility in the table below. If you would like to add support for additional engines, first make sure Github Actions supports the engine, then submit a PR to the correct maintenance branch as according to the table below.
Ruby Version Compatibility Policy
If something doesn't work on one of these interpreters, it's a bug.
This library may inadvertently work (or seem to work) on other Ruby implementations, however support will only be provided for the versions listed above.
If you would like this library to support another Ruby version, you may volunteer to be a maintainer. Being a maintainer entails making sure all tests run and pass on that implementation. When something breaks on your implementation, you will be responsible for providing patches in a timely fashion. If critical issues for a particular implementation exist at the time of a major release, support for that Ruby version may be dropped.
| Ruby OAuth 2 Version | Maintenance Branch | Supported Officially | Supported Unofficially | Supported Incidentally | |

| 1️⃣ | 2.0.x (unreleased) | master |
2.7, 3.0, 3.1 | 2.5, 2.6 | 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 |

2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1 | 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 | 1.9, 2.0 |
| 3️⃣ | older | N/A | Best of luck to you! | Please upgrade! |
NOTE: Once 2.0 is released, the 1.4 series will only receive critical bug and security updates. See SECURITY.md

response = token.get('/api/resource', params: {'query_foo' => 'bar'})
response.class.name
# => OAuth2::ResponseIn above example, the default Authorization URL is oauth/authorize and default Access Token URL is oauth/token, and, as they are missing a leading /, both are relative.
client = OAuth2::Client.new('client_id', 'client_secret', site: 'https://example.org/nested/directory/on/your/server')
# => #<OAuth2::Client:0x00000001204c8288 @id="client_id", @secret="client_sec...

client = OAuth2::Client.new('client_id', 'client_secret',
site: 'https://example.org/nested/directory/on/your/server',
authorize_url: '/jaunty/authorize/',
token_url: '/stirrups/access_token')

client.class.name
# => OAuth2::ClientDebugging
Set an environment variable, however you would normally do that.
# will log both request and response, including bodies
ENV['OAUTH_DEBUG'] = 'true'By default, debug output will go to $stdout. This can be overridden when
initializing your OAuth2::Client.
require 'oauth2'
client = OAuth2::Client.new(
'client_id',
'client_secret',
site: 'https://example.org',
logger: Logger.new('example.log', 'weekly')
)The AccessToken methods #get, #post, #put and #delete and the generic #request
will return an instance of the #OAuth2::Response class.
This instance contains a #parsed method that will parse the response body and
return a Hash if the Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded or if
the body is a JSON object. It will return an Array if the body is a JSON
array. Otherwise, it will return the original body string.
The original response body, headers, and status can be accessed via their respective methods.
If you have an existing Access Token for a user, you can initialize an instance
using various class methods including the standard new, from_hash (if you have
a hash of the values), or from_kvform (if you have an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded string of the values).
On 400+ status code responses, an OAuth2::Error will be raised. If it is a
standard OAuth2 error response, the body will be parsed and #code and #description will contain the values provided from the error and
error_description parameters. The #response property of OAuth2::Error will
always contain the OAuth2::Response instance.
If you do not want an error to be raised, you may use :raise_errors => false
option on initialization of the client. In this case the OAuth2::Response
instance will be returned as usual and on 400+ status code responses, the
Response instance will contain the OAuth2::Error instance.
Currently the Authorization Code, Implicit, Resource Owner Password Credentials, Client Credentials, and Assertion
authentication grant types have helper strategy classes that simplify client
use. They are available via the #auth_code, #implicit, #password, #client_credentials, and #assertion methods respectively.
auth_url = client.auth_code.authorize_url(redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback')
token = client.auth_code.get_token('code_value', redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback')
auth_url = client.implicit.authorize_url(redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback')
# get the token params in the callback and
token = OAuth2::AccessToken.from_kvform(client, query_string)
token = client.password.get_token('username', 'password')
token = client.client_credentials.get_token
token = client.assertion.get_token(assertion_params)If you want to specify additional headers to be sent out with the request, add a 'headers' hash under 'params':
token = client.auth_code.get_token('code_value', redirect_uri: 'http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback', headers: {'Some' => 'Header'})You can always use the #request method on the OAuth2::Client instance to make
requests for tokens for any Authentication grant type.
This library aims to adhere to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.
As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a dependency on this gem using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.
For example:
spec.add_dependency 'oauth2', '~> 1.4'- Copyright (c) 2011-2013 Michael Bleigh and Intridea, Inc.
- Copyright (c) 2017-2022 oauth-xx organization

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
