epitech.js

Wrapper for Epitech intranet for NodeJS with complete TypeScript typings.

Install

npm install epitech.js

Getting started

You might want to take a look at files in src/examples.

You may also want to have a look at the Usage section below to discover how login to the intranet.

Usage

Login to the intranet (Puppeteer auth provider)

Epitech.js can be used with Puppeteer to login to the intranet without using an autologin link and without having to renew the session manually.

To do so, you need to install an additional dependency:

npm install @epitech.js/puppeteer-auth-provider

You will then need to import the RawIntra and PuppeteerAuthProvider classes:

import { RawIntra } from 'epitech.js';
import { PuppeteerAuthProvider } from '@epitech.js/puppeteer-auth-provider';

// or

const { RawIntra } = require('epitech.js');
const { PuppeteerAuthProvider } = require('@epitech.js/puppeteer-auth-provider');

The RawIntra class will provide you a low-abstraction access to the Intranet endpoints.

The PuppeteerAuthProvider class will provide you a way to login to the intranet for a long period of time.

You may want to read the @epitech.js/puppeteer-auth-provider documentation to know how to make adjustments and how to fix common issues.

const intra = new RawIntra({
    provider: new PuppeteerAuthProvider({
        // path to the file where the auth data will be stored
        storageFilePath: './storage.json',

        // ... additional options for the PuppeteerAuthProvider are available
    })
});

You can then use the RawIntra class to access the intranet endpoints! Feel free to have a look at the Documentation section to see the available endpoints.

Puppeteer is only one way to login to the intranet with epitech.js, but not the only one! See the sections below to learn more about other ways to login to the intranet and access endpoints with epitech.js.

Login to the intranet (custom auth provider - cookie auth)

Import the RawIntra class, that provides you a low-abstraction access to the Intranet endpoints:

import { RawIntra } from "epitech.js";  // TypeScript / ES6
// or
const { RawIntra } = require("epitech.js");  // Classic NodeJS

You will also need to use an auth provider to get an access cookie.

See the auth providers section for more information on how to create your own auth provider.

Here is an example provider, the access cookie can be grabbed from a browser authenticated to the intranet (Inspector -> Storage -> Cookies -> user -> Value).

Please note that authentication cookies are only valid for a limited time (usually up to a week), which is why you may only directly use this provider for testing purposes or short automation scripts.

class MyProvider {
    async refresh() {
        return "{authentication cookie}";
    }
}

Once you have the access cookie, you can create a RawIntra instance:

const intra = new RawIntra({
    provider: new MyProvider(),
});

And now you can access the intranet endpoints!

Login to the intranet (autologin - legacy)

Since August 2022, autologin access doesn't work any more and is locked behind a whitelist. You will probably need to use an auth provider in order to manually provide and refresh authentication cookies instead.

Go into https://intra.epitech.eu/admin/autolog and grab your autologin link.

Import the RawIntra class, that provides you a low-abstraction access to the Intranet endpoints:

import { RawIntra } from "epitech.js";  // TypeScript / ES6
// or
const { RawIntra } = require("epitech.js");  // Classic NodeJS

const intra = new RawIntra({
    autologin: "https://intra.epitech.eu/auth-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
});

Safety concerns

This section describes some safety concerns regarding the usage of previous versions of this library.

Old versions of epitech.js did not have any security measures or sanity checks built-in. It is therefore recommended having a recent version of epitech.js (at least v0.1.7).

Since v0.2.0, epitech.js performs an autologin link validation. Previous versions of epitech.js did not perform this check, which could lead to security issues when using invalid autologin links.

Since v0.2.0, epitech.js provides an indirect authentication strategy to avoid leaking your autologin link. This strategy performs an authentication request separately from your requests. As of this release, it is the default strategy. Previous versions used a direct strategy, which was insecure.

Auth Providers

Auth providers are used to provide authentication cookies to epitech.js in order to perform API calls.

An auth provider is a class that implements the AuthProvider interface.

AuthProvider

refresh(): Promise<string> - Refresh the authentication cookie.

Returns a promise that resolves to the new authentication cookie. Is called a first time before the first API call, and then each time the authentication cookie has expired.

Please note that if a request still fails after a refresh, no further refreshes will be made until the next request is done and the current request will fail.
