GitHub Api

see https://vimeo.com/173947281

Redirect users to request GitHub access

enter to bellow address in your browser:

https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id={{CLIENT_ID}}&scope=repo

click authorize application

GitHub redirects back to your site

you will redirect to an address like this:

http://localhost:8000/auth-cb?code={{CURRENT_USER_CODE}}

copy {{CURRENT_USER_CODE}} and put it in the bellow url

https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token?client_id={{CLIENT_ID}}&client_secret={{CLIENT_SECRET}}&code={{CURRENT_USER_CODE}}

post this url by axios

GitHub response

you will recieve a line like bellow:

access_token={{CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN}}&scope=repo&token_type=bearer

scope is permissions that user checked in authorize page, You must save them to handle access_level in your app

Third party requests

Send all requests now with ?access_token={{CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN}}, because some urls are private and third party app must demonstrate to github that it has permission to these urls

It is better to save access_token in user's browser cookie or storage
