githubauthquerystring

Authorise GitHub API requests by appending the environments auth credentials to your request's query string.

Usage

Fetch

Using environment variables:

import githubAuthQueryString from 'githubauthquerystring'
const githubURL = `https://api.github.com/user?${githubAuthQueryString}`

Using manual GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN:

import { fetch } from 'githubauthquerystring'
const githubAuthQueryString = fetch({
    GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN: 'value',
})
const githubURL = `https://api.github.com/user?${githubAuthQueryString}`

Using manual GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET:

import { fetch } from 'githubauthquerystring'
const githubAuthQueryString = fetch({
    GITHUB_CLIENT_ID: 'value',
    GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET: 'value',
})
const githubURL = `https://api.github.com/user?${githubAuthQueryString}`

If the values did not exist or were not in a valid combination, then an empty string will be returned.

Redaction

When error reporting, you should redact the error message to prevent credentials from leaking in log files:

import { fetch as fetchGithubAuthQueryString, redact } from 'githubauthquerystring'
import 'fetch' from 'cross-fetch'

// fetch the url
const githubAuthQueryString = fetchGithubAuthQueryString({
    GITHUB_CLIENT_ID: 'value',
    GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET: 'value'
})
const githubURL = `https://api.github.com/user?${githubAuthQueryString}`

// fetch the response
(async function () {
    try {
        const resp = await fetch(githubURL)
        const data = await resp.json()
    }
    catch (err) {
        // redact the error before logging it
        console.error(redact(err.message))
    }
})()

Renaming

If you would like to rename the methods to something else, you can do it like so:

// using named imports
import ghQueryString, {
    fetch as fetchGithubAuthQueryString,
    redact as redactGithubAuthQueryString,
} from 'githubauthquerystring'

// using destructuring
const {
    default: ghQueryString,
    fetch: fetchGithubAuthQueryString,
    redact: redactGithubAuthQueryString,
} = require('githubauthquerystring')
