oauthlogin.js

This is a simple interface for using the javascript oauth2 flow.

Heads up: Don't actually use this yet, it's still in development.

The interface looks like this:

var ol = new OauthLogin('http://www.oauthprovider.com/oauth/authorize', 'http://localhost/oauth/callback');
var resp = ol.authorize();

resp will have an authToken property, as well as optional scope and state properties.

Call this script when your page loads if you need a auth token. If you are on the callback url already, it will set authToken immediately (synchronously). If you are not on the callback url, it will send your browser to to the authorization server.

Optional Parameters

You can optionally call a couple other paramters on authorize:

ol.authorize('default', 'consent', 'funkystate');

The first parameter, "scope", is the list of scopes you are asking for. The second parameter, "prompt", is whether you want to be prompted to log in or not. The third parameter is 'state', which you can use to send some application state through the oauth server to keep track of stuff.

Error Handling

Calls to authorize normally return a key. Sometimes, it will throw an error. This will happen if authorization fails, for instance. You can handle this with catch.
