⚠️ `@octokit/auth-app` is not meant for usage in the browser. A private key and client secret must not be exposed to users.

The private keys provided by GitHub are in `PKCS#1` format, but the WebCrypto API only supports `PKCS#8`. You need to convert it first:

```shell
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in private-key.pem -out private-key-pkcs8.key
```

The OAuth APIs to create user-to-server tokens cannot be used because they do not have CORS enabled.

If you know what you are doing, load `@octokit/auth-app` directly from [esm.sh](https://esm.sh)

```html
<script type="module">
  import { createAppAuth } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/auth-app";
</script>
```

</td></tr>

### Authenticate as GitHub App (JSON Web Token)

```js
const auth = createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  clientId: "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef12341234567890abcdef1234",
});

// Retrieve JSON Web Token (JWT) to authenticate as app
const appAuthentication = await auth({ type: "app" });
```

resolves with

```json
{
  "type": "app",
  "token": "jsonwebtoken123",
  "appId": 123,
  "expiresAt": "2018-07-07T00:09:30.000Z"
}
```

### Authenticate as OAuth App (client ID/client secret)

The [OAuth Application APIs](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/apps#oauth-applications-api) require the app to authenticate using clientID/client as Basic Authentication

```js
const auth = createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  clientId: "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef12341234567890abcdef1234",
});

const appAuthentication = await auth({
  type: "oauth-app",
});
```

resolves with

```json
{
  "type": "oauth-app",
  "clientId": "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  "clientSecret": "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678",
  "headers": {
    "authorization": "basic bHYxLjEyMzQ1Njc4OTBhYmNkZWY6MTIzNDU2Nzg5MGFiY2RlZjEyMzQ1Njc4OTBhYmNkZWYxMjM0NTY3OA=="
  }
}
```

### Authenticate as installation

```js
const auth = createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  clientId: "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef12341234567890abcdef1234",
});

// Retrieve installation access token
const installationAuthentication = await auth({
  type: "installation",
  installationId: 123,
});
```

resolves with

```json
{
  "type": "token",
  "tokenType": "installation",
  "token": "token123",
  "installationId": 123,
  "createdAt": "2018-07-07T00:00:00.000Z",
  "expiresAt": "2018-07-07T00:59:00.000Z"
}
```

### Authenticate as user

```js
const auth = createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  clientId: "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef12341234567890abcdef1234",
});

// Retrieve an oauth-access token
const userAuthentication = await auth({ type: "oauth-user", code: "123456" });
```

Resolves with

```json
{
  "type": "token",
  "tokenType": "oauth",
  "token": "token123"
}
```

## Usage with Octokit

⚠️ `@octokit/auth-app` is not meant for usage in the browser. A private key and client secret must not be exposed to users.

The private keys provided by GitHub are in `PKCS#1` format, but the WebCrypto API only supports `PKCS#8`. You need to convert it first:

```shell
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in private-key.pem -out private-key-pkcs8.key
```

The OAuth APIs to create user-to-server tokens cannot be used because they do not have CORS enabled.

If you know what you are doing, load `@octokit/auth-app` and `@octokit/core` (or a compatible module) directly from [esm.sh](https://esm.sh)

```html
<script type="module">
  import { createAppAuth } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/auth-app";
  import { Octokit } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/core";

Install with `npm install @octokit/core @octokit/auth-app`. Optionally replace `@octokit/core` with a compatible module

```js

import { createAppAuth, createOAuthUserAuth } from "@octokit/auth-app";
```

</td></tr>

```js
const appOctokit = new Octokit({

  auth: {
    appId: 1,
    privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
    clientId: "1234567890abcdef1234",
    clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678",
  },
});

// Send requests as GitHub App
const { slug } = await appOctokit.request("GET /app");
console.log("authenticated as %s", slug);

// Send requests as OAuth App
await appOctokit.request("POST /application/{client_id}/token", {
  client_id: "1234567890abcdef1234",
  access_token: "existingtoken123",
});
console.log("token is valid");

// create a new octokit instance that is authenticated as the user
const userOctokit = await appOctokit.auth({
  type: "oauth-user",
  code: "code123",
  factory: (options) => {
    return new Octokit({
      authStrategy: createOAuthUserAuth,
      auth: options,
    });
  },
});

// Exchanges the code for the user access token authentication on first request
// and caches the authentication for successive requests
const {
  data: { login },
} = await userOctokit.request("GET /user");
console.log("Hello, %s!", login);
```

In order to create an `octokit` instance that is authenticated as an installation, with automated installation token refresh, set `installationId` as `auth` option

```js
const installationOctokit = new Octokit({
  authStrategy: createAppAuth,
  auth: {
    appId: 1,
    privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
    installationId: 123,
  },
});

// transparently creates an installation access token the first time it is needed
// and refreshes it when it expires
await installationOctokit.request("POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues", {
  owner: "octocat",
  repo: "hello-world",
  title: "title",
});
```

Automatically set to `octokit.request` when using with an `Octokit` constructor.

For standalone usage, you can pass in your own [`@octokit/request`](https://github.com/octokit/request.js) instance. For usage with enterprise, set `baseUrl` to the hostname + `/api/v3`. Example:

```js
import { request } from "@octokit/request";
createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  request: request.defaults({
    baseUrl: "https://ghe.my-company.com/api/v3",

        Installation tokens expire after an hour. By default, <code>@octokit/auth-app</code> is caching up to 15000 tokens simultaneously using <a href="https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache">lru-cache</a>. You can pass your own cache implementation by passing <code>options.cache.{get,set}</code> to the constructor. Example:

```js
const CACHE = {};
createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  cache: {
    async get(key) {
      return CACHE[key];

      <td>
        You can pass in your preferred logging tool by passing <code>option.log</code> to the constructor. If you would like to make the log level configurable using an environment variable or external option, we recommend the console-log-level package. For example:

```js
import consoleLogLevel from "console-log-level";
createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  log: consoleLogLevel({ level: "info" }),
});
```

For example, you can create a new `auth` instance for an installation which shares the internal state (especially the access token cache) with the calling `auth` instance:

```js
const appAuth = createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",

Installation tokens expire after one hour. By default, tokens are cached and returned from cache until expired. To bypass and update a cached token for the given `installationId`, set `refresh` to `true`.

Defaults to `false`.

});

const userAuth = await appAuth({

### User authentication (device flow)

Create a token using [GitHub's device flow](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oauth-apps#device-flow).

The device flow does not require a client secret, but it is required as strategy option for `@octokit/auth-app`, even for the device flow. If you want to implement the device flow without requiring a client secret, use [`@octokit/auth-oauth-device`](https://github.com/octokit/auth-oauth-device.js#readme).

**Required**. A function that is called once the device and user codes were retrieved.

The `onVerification()` callback can be used to pause until the user completes step 2, which might result in a better user experience.

```js
const auth = auth({
  type: "oauth-user",
  onVerification(verification) {
    console.log("Open %s", verification.verification_uri);
    console.log("Enter code: %s", verification.user_code);
    await prompt("press enter when you are ready to continue");
  },
});

        <code>factory</code>

      <th>
        <code>function</code>
      </th>
      <td>

The `auth({type: "oauth-user", factory })` call with resolve with whatever the factory function returns. The `factory` function will be called with all the strategy option that `auth` was created with, plus the additional options passed to `auth`, besides `type` and `factory`.

For example, you can create a new `auth` instance for an installation which shares the internal state (especially the access token cache) with the calling `auth` instance:

```js
import { createAppAuth, createOAuthUserAuth } from "@octokit/auth-oauth-app";

const appAuth = createAppAuth({
  appId: 1,
  privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  clientId: "lv1.1234567890abcdef",
  clientSecret: "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678",
});

const userAuth = await appAuth({
  type: "oauth-user",
  code,
  factory: createOAuthUserAuth,
});

// will create token upon first call, then cache authentication for successive calls,
// until token needs to be refreshed (if enabled for the GitHub App)
const authentication = await userAuth();
```

    </tr>

## Authentication object

Depending on on the `auth()` call, the resulting authentication object can be one of

1. JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication
1. OAuth App authentication
1. Installation access token authentication
1. GitHub APP user authentication token with expiring disabled
1. GitHub APP user authentication token with expiring enabled

## `auth.hook(request, route, parameters)` or `auth.hook(request, options)`

`auth.hook()` hooks directly into the request life cycle. It amends the request to authenticate either as app or as installation based on the request URL. Although the `"machine-man"` preview has graduated to the official API, https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-08-20-graduate-machine-man-and-sailor-v-previews/, it is still required in versions of GitHub Enterprise up to 2.21 so it automatically sets the `"machine-man"` preview for all endpoints requiring JWT authentication.

The `request` option is an instance of [`@octokit/request`](https://github.com/octokit/request.js#readme). The arguments are the same as for the [`request()` method](https://github.com/octokit/request.js#request).

`auth.hook()` can be called directly to send an authenticated request

```js
const { data: installations } = await auth.hook(
  request,
  "GET /app/installations",
);
```

Or it can be passed as option to [`request()`](https://github.com/octokit/request.js#request).

```js
const requestWithAuth = request.defaults({
  request: {
    hook: auth.hook,
  },
});

const { data: installations } = await requestWithAuth("GET /app/installations");
```

Note that `auth.hook()` does not create and set an OAuth authentication token. But you can use [`@octokit/auth-oauth-app`](https://github.com/octokit/auth-oauth-app.js#readme) for that functionality. And if you don't plan on sending requests to routes that require authentication with `client_id` and `client_secret`, you can just retrieve the token and then create a new instance of [`request()`](https://github.com/octokit/request.js#request) with the authentication header set:

```js
const { token } = await auth({
  type: "oauth-user",
  code: "123456",
});
const requestWithAuth = request.defaults({
  headers: {
    authentication: `token ${token}`,
  },
});
```

## Types

```ts
import {
  // strategy options
  StrategyOptions,
  // auth options
  AuthOptions,
  AppAuthOptions,
  OAuthAppAuthOptions,
  InstallationAuthOptions,
  OAuthWebFlowAuthOptions,
  OAuthDeviceFlowAuthOptions,
  // authentication objects
  Authentication,
  AppAuthentication,
  OAuthAppAuthentication,
  InstallationAccessTokenAuthentication,
  GitHubAppUserAuthentication,
  GitHubAppUserAuthenticationWithExpiration,
} from "@octokit/auth-app";
```

## Implementation details

When creating a JSON Web Token, it sets the "issued at time" (iat) to 30s in the past as we have seen people running situations where the GitHub API claimed the iat would be in future. It turned out the clocks on the different machine were not in sync.

Installation access tokens are valid for 60 minutes. This library invalidates them after 59 minutes to account for request delays.

All OAuth features are implemented internally using [@octokit/auth-oauth-app](https://github.com/octokit/auth-oauth-app.js/#readme).
