## Install

```shell
npm install shimo
```

## Usage

```javascript
var Shimo = require('shimo');
var shimo = new Shimo({ version: 'v2' });
```

`Shimo` constructor accepts an option, where:

| name | required | default | description |
|--------------|----------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| version | true | | API version |
| protocol | false | https | API protocol |
| host | false | api.shimo.im | API host |
| clientId | false | `null` | Client id, used for requesting tokens |
| clientSecret | false | `null` | Client secret, used for requesting tokens |
| accessToken | false | `null` | Access Token, used for access private resources |
| refreshToken | false | `null` | Refresh Token, used for exchanging access token |

API supports both Node-style callback and Bluebird Proimse:

```javascript
shimo.get('users/me', function (err, user) {});
shimo.get('users/me').then(function (user) {});
```

`accessToken` is required in order to access private resources. If `accessToken` is omitted or invalid (getting `401` error when accessing APIs), `refreshToken`, if present, would be used to exchange a new access token and refresh token.

## API

### Shimo#:httpMethod

Invoking Shimo Open API. Accepts three arguments:

| name | required | description |
|----------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
| path | true | API endpoint, e.g. `'users/me'` |
| option | false | API options, e.g. `{ qs: { id: 12 }, body: { title: 'new' } }` |
| callback | false | Callback function. If omitted, a promise will be returned |

Example:

```javascript
shimo.post('files', { body: { name: 'Untitled Document' } });
```

### Shimo#token

Requesting tokens. Accepts three arguments:

| name | required | description |
|------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| grant type | true | Grant type, e.g. `'refresh_token'`, `'password'` |
| option | false | Token options, e.g. `{ scope: 'read' }` |
| callback | false | Callback function. If omitted, a promise will be returned |

Example:

```javascript
shimo.token('authorization', {
code: req.query.code,
redirect_uri: 'https://yourapp.tld/oauth/callback'
});
```

### Shimo#authorization

Getting authorization endpoint url.

Example:

```javascript
// redirect user to the authorization page
res.redirect(shimo.authorization({
redirect_uri: 'https://yourapp.tld/oauth/callback'
}));
```

## Events

Shimo extends `EventEmitter` and will emit the following events:

### accesstoken_change

When access token changed, the first argument is the new access token.

Example:
```javascript
shimo.on('accesstoken_change', function (accessToken) { });
```

### refreshtoken_change

When refresh token changed, the first argument is the new refresh token.

Example:
```javascript
shimo.on('refreshtoken_change', function (refreshToken) {
req.session.refreshToken = refreshToken;
});
```
