Version 0.2.0
- New, more polyvalent auth method
- Token renewal support when available
The 0.2.0 changes a bit the syntax to perform the authentication and to retrieve a request object to make API requests.
Authenticating the user with a code
$request_object = $oauth->auth('provider', array(
'code' => 'the_code_you_got_from_the_front_end'
));This saves also the credentials in the session for the duration of the user's visit.
Authenticating the user from the session
$request_token = $oauth.auth('provider');Authenticating the user from saved credentials
You can save a user's credentials (what's returned by OAuth.io, an array containing the access_token, refresh_token, etc) in the data storage of your choice. To retrieve the credentials, do this:
$credentials = $request_object->getCredentials();Later, you can use this array like this to rebuild a $request_object:
$request_token = $oauth->auth('provider', array(
'credentials' => $credentials
));Note that the credentials are automatically refreshed through the
authmethod if the access token is expired.
