GitHub OAuth2 Access Token

Demonstrates how to get a GitHub OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

  final oauth2 = CkOAuth2();

  // This should be the port in the localhost callback URL for your app.  
  // The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.
  oauth2.listenPort = 3017;

  oauth2.authorizationEndpoint = 'https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize';
  oauth2.tokenEndpoint = 'https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token';

  // Replace with your actual Client ID
  oauth2.clientId = 'CLIENT_ID';

  // This is for Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)
  // See OAuth2 PKCE Explained
  oauth2.codeChallenge = true;
  oauth2.codeChallengeMethod = 'S256';

  // To force the OAuth consent screen to reappear (even if previously granted)
  oauth2.addAuthQueryParam('prompt', 'consent');

  // Begin the OAuth2 Authorization code flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.

  // The LaunchBrowser method was added in Chilkat v10.1.2.

  // If the browser does not respond within the specified time, AuthFlowState will be:
  // 
  // 1: Waiting for Redirect – The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the browser's redirect request.
  // 2: Waiting for Final Response – The thread is awaiting the final access token response.
  // In either case, cancel the background task initiated by StartAuth.

  if (oauth2.authFlowState < 3) {

    print('No response from the browser!');
    return;
  }

  // Check AuthFlowState to determine if authorization was granted, denied, or failed:
  // 
  // 3: Success – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the successful response is in AccessTokenResponse.
  // 4: Access Denied – OAuth2 flow completed, the background thread exited, and the error response is in AccessTokenResponse.
  // 5: Failure – OAuth2 flow failed before completion, the background thread exited, and error details are in FailureInfo.
