Gatekeeper
==========
Because of some [security-related limitations](http://blog.vjeux.com/2012/javascript/github-oauth-login-browser-side.html), Github prevents you from implementing the OAuth Web Application Flow on a client-side only application.
This is a real bummer. So we built Gatekeeper, which is the missing piece you need in order to make it work.
Gatekeeper works well with [Github.js](http://github.com/michael/github), which helps you access the [Github API](http://developer.github.com/v3/) from the browser. Gatekeeper is free to use under the [MIT license](https://github.com/prose/gatekeeper/blob/master/LICENSE).
## New Release
:tada: We are currently working on releasing a new major version of gatekeeper. You can join the discussion and get involved by following this [issue](https://github.com/prose/gatekeeper/issues/38). :tada:
## API
```
GET http://localhost:9999/authenticate/TEMPORARY_CODE
```
## OAuth Steps
Also see the [documentation on Github](http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/).
1. Redirect users to request GitHub access.
```
GET https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize
```
2. GitHub redirects back to your site including a temporary code you need for the next step.
You can grab it like so:
```js
var code = window.location.href.match(/\?code=(.*)/)[1];
```
3. Request the actual token using your instance of Gatekeeper, which knows your `client_secret`.
```js
$.getJSON('http://localhost:9999/authenticate/'+code, function(data) {
console.log(data.token);
});
```
## Setup your Gatekeeper
1. Clone it
```
git clone [email protected]:prose/gatekeeper.git
```
2. Install Dependencies
```
cd gatekeeper && npm install
```
3. Adjust config.json
```json
{
"oauth_client_id": "GITHUB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID",
"oauth_client_secret": "GITHUB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_SECRET",
"oauth_host": "github.com",
"oauth_port": 443,
"oauth_path": "/login/oauth/access_token",
"oauth_method": "POST",
"port": 9999
}
```
You can also set environment variables to override the settings if you don't want Git to track your adjusted config.json file. Just use UPPER_CASE keys.
4. Serve it
```
$ node index.js
```
## Run using Docker
You can build and run the docker image:
```bash
docker build -t gatekeeper .
docker run -p 443:443 -p 9999:9999 --name gatekeeper-server gatekeeper
```
Or run it with a .env file:
```bash
docker run -p 443:443 -p 9999:9999 --env-file .env --name gatekeeper-server gatekeeper
```
Or run using the docker hub image:
```bash
docker run -p 443:443 -p 9999:9999 --name gatekeeper-server ludwigschubi/gatekeeper
```
## Deploy on Heroku
### Heroku Button

heroku apps:create APP_NAME
```
3. Provide OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET:
```
heroku config:set OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=XXXX OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=YYYY
```
4. Push changes to heroku
```
git push heroku master
```
OR
```
heroku restart
```
## Deploy on Azure
### Azure Button
