* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.OAuth2')
loOauth2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth2')

* 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.
loOauth2.ListenPort = 3017

loOauth2.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://login.twinfield.com/auth/authentication/connect/authorize"
loOauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://login.twinfield.com/auth/authentication/connect/token"

* Replace these with actual values.
loOauth2.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"
loOauth2.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET"

loOauth2.Scope = "openid twf.user twf.organisation twf.organisationUser offline_access"

loOauth2.CodeChallenge = 1
loOauth2.CodeChallengeMethod = "S256"

* Twinfield requires that the request to exchange the authorization code for a token must be a GET.
* (In most cases, OAuth2 is implemented where the exchange for token HTTP request is a POST.)
* Note: The exchange-for-token happens within Chilkat in a background thread.  After the user interactively 
* accepts or denies authorization, the browser receives the response and redirects to localhost:<port>,
* where Chilkat is waiting on a background thread to receive the redirect, process it, and then send the HTTP request
* to exchange the code for a token.  This happens internally while your code below is waiting for the authorization..)
loOauth2.UncommonOptions = "EXCHANGE_CODE_FOR_TOKEN_USING_GET"

* Begin the OAuth2 three-legged flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.
lcUrl = loOauth2.StartAuth()
IF (loOauth2.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* At this point, your application should load the URL in a browser.
* For example, 
* in C#: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
* in Java: Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI(url));
* in VBScript: Set wsh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
*              wsh.Run url
* in Xojo: ShowURL(url)  (see http://docs.xojo.com/index.php/ShowURL)
* in Dataflex: Runprogram Background "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" sUrl        
* The Microsoft account owner would interactively accept or deny the authorization request.

* Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
* Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
* Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...

* Now wait for the authorization.
* We'll wait for a max of 60 seconds.
lnNumMsWaited = 0
DO WHILE (lnNumMsWaited < 60000) AND (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3)
    loOauth2.SleepMs(100)
    lnNumMsWaited = lnNumMsWaited + 100
ENDDO

* If there was no response from the browser within 30 seconds, then 
* the AuthFlowState will be equal to 1 or 2.
* 1: Waiting for Redirect. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting to receive the redirect HTTP request from the browser.
* 2: Waiting for Final Response. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the final access token response.
* In that case, cancel the background task started in the call to StartAuth.
IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3) THEN
    loOauth2.Cancel()
    ? "No response from the browser!"
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Check the AuthFlowState to see if authorization was granted, denied, or if some error occurred
* The possible AuthFlowState values are:
* 3: Completed with Success. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the successful JSON response is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 5: Failed Prior to Completion. The OAuth2 flow failed to complete, the background thread exited, and the error information is available in the FailureInfo property.
IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState = 5) THEN
    ? "OAuth2 failed to complete."
    ? loOauth2.FailureInfo
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState = 4) THEN

    ? "Unexpected AuthFlowState:" + STR(loOauth2.AuthFlowState)
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "OAuth2 authorization granted!"
? "Access Token = " + loOauth2.AccessToken

* Get the full JSON response:
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.Load(loOauth2.AccessTokenResponse)
loJson.EmitCompact = 0

* The JSON response looks like this:

? loJson.Emit()

* Save the JSON to a file for future requests.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.FileAccess')
loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')
loFac.WriteEntireTextFile("qa_data/tokens/twinfield.json",loJson.Emit(),"utf-8",0)
