##Synopsis

express = require('express');
Playlyfe = require('playlyfe-node-sdk')

// Put in your application details here.
var config = {
  type: 'code', // The type of OAuth2.0 flow we wish use
  client_id: 'YOUR CLIENT ID',
  client_secret: 'YOUR CLIENT SECRET',
  redirect_uri: 'https://localhost:8080/auth/redirect'
};

client = new Playlyfe(config);

app = express();
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ secret: 'TOP_SECRET' }));
app.use(express.static(__dirname+"/public"));
app.use(app.router);
app.use(express.logger());
app.use(express.errorHandler());

var auth = function (req, res, next) {
  if (req.session.logged_in) {
    return next();
  } else {
    return res.redirect(client.getAuthorizationURI());
  }
};

// start playlyfe oauth authorization code flow
app.get('/auth', auth, function (req, res) {
  return res.redirect('/home');
});

// get access token and save it
app.get('/auth/redirect', function (req, res) {
  if (req.query.code !== null) {
    client.getToken(req.query.code, function(err, token) {
      if (err) return res.json(500, err);
      req.session.auth = token;
      req.session.logged_in = true;
      res.redirect('/api/player');
    });
  } else {
    res.redirect('/api/player');
  }
});

// Proxy requests to playlyfe server.
// We keep the access token away from cheaters by using the authorization code flow.
app.all('/api/*', auth, function(req, res) {
  res.header("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate");
  res.header("Pragma", "no-cache");
  res.header("Expires", 0);
  client.api(
    '/' + req.params[0],
    req.route.method.toUpperCase(),
    { qs: req.query, body: req.body },
    req.session.auth.token.access_token,
    function(err, response, body) {
      for (header in response.headers) {
        res.header(header, response.headers[header]);
      }
      res.end(body);
    }
  );
});

app.get('/logout', auth, function (req, res) {
  req.session.logged_in = false;
  delete req.session.auth;
  res.redirect('/');
});

app.listen(8080);

Methods

constructor (options)

The options object contains the configuration options for your playlyfe application. These values can be found in the clients menu in the game builder on the Playlyfe Platform.

{
  type: 'OAUTH_2.0_FLOW_TYPE' // Must be either code or client
  clientID: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
  redirectURI: 'REDIRECT_URI' // Only required
}

The redirect URI must match exactly with any of the registered redirect endpoints or the oauth flow will fail.

getAuthorizationURI

Get the Authorization URI for the app.

getToken (code, saveTokenFunction)

Exchange the Authorization Code for Access Token.

api (url, method, data, access_token, callback)

Executes an API call. This method differs from the request helper in requiring the accessToken and refreshToken to be manually provided. Visit the complete API reference
