## Install

From CDN

    <!-- Latest patch release -->
    <script src="https://cdn.auth0.com/js/auth0/9.2.3/auth0.min.js"></script>

From npm

    npm install auth0-js

After installing the `auth0-js` module, you'll need bundle it up along with all of its dependencies.

## auth0.WebAuth

Provides support for all the authentication flows

### Initialize

    var auth0 = new auth0.WebAuth({
      domain: "{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}",
      clientID: "{YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID}"
    });

Parameters:

- domain {REQUIRED, string}: Your Auth0 account domain such as `'example.auth0.com'` or `'example.eu.auth0.com'`.
- clientID {REQUIRED, string}: Your Auth0 client ID.
- redirectUri {OPTIONAL, string}: The URL where Auth0 will call back to with the result of a successful or failed authentication. It must be whitelisted in the "Allowed Callback URLs" in your Auth0 client's settings.
- scope {OPTIONAL, string}: The default scope used for all authorization requests.
- audience {OPTIONAL, string}: The default audience, used if requesting access to an API.
- responseType {OPTIONAL, string}: Response type for all authentication requests. Defaults to `'token'`. It can be any space separated list of the values `code`, `token`, `id_token`. If you don't provide a global `responseType`, you will have to provide a `responseType` for each method that you use
- responseMode {OPTIONAL, string}: The default responseMode used, defaults to `'fragment'`. The `parseHash` method can be used to parse authentication responses using fragment response mode. Supported values are `query`, `fragment` and `form_post`. The `query` value is only supported when `responseType` is `code`.
- _disableDeprecationWarnings {OPTIONAL, boolean}: Indicates if deprecation warnings should be output to the browser console, defaults to `false`.

### API

- authorize(options): Redirects to the `/authorize` endpoint to start an authentication/authorization transaction. Auth0 will call back to your application with the results at the specified `redirectUri`.

    auth0.authorize({
      audience: 'https://mystore.com/api/v2',
      scope: 'read:order write:order',
      responseType: 'token',
      redirectUri: 'https://example.com/auth/callback'
    });

- parseHash(options, callback): Parses a URL hash fragment to extract the result of an Auth0 authentication response.

> This method requires that your tokens are signed with RS256. Please check our Migration Guide for more information.

    auth0.parseHash({ hash: window.location.hash }, function(err, authResult) {
      if (err) {
        return console.log(err);
      }

      // The contents of authResult depend on which authentication parameters were used.
      // It can include the following:
      // authResult.accessToken - access token for the API specified by `audience`
      // authResult.expiresIn - string with the access token's expiration time in seconds
      // authResult.idToken - ID token JWT containing user profile information

      auth0.client.userInfo(authResult.accessToken, function(err, user) {
        // Now you have the user's information
      });
    });

- checkSession(options, callback): Allows you to acquire a new token from Auth0 for a user who already has an SSO session established against Auth0 for your domain. If the user is not authenticated, the authentication result will be empty and you'll receive an error like this: `{error: 'login_required'}`.The method accepts any valid OAuth2 parameters that would normally be sent to `/authorize`. Everything happens inside an iframe, so it will not reload your application or redirect away from it.

    auth0.checkSession({
      audience: 'https://mystore.com/api/v2',
      scope: 'read:order write:order'
      }, function (err, authResult) {
        // Authentication tokens or error
    });

The contents of `authResult` are identical to those returned by `parseHash()`.

> Important: If you're not using the hosted login page to do social logins, you have to use your own social connection keys. If you use Auth0's dev keys, you'll always get `login_required` as an error when calling `checkSession`.

> Important: Because there is no redirect in this method, `responseType: 'code'` is not supported and will throw an error.

Remember to add the URL where the authorization request originates from, to the Allowed Web Origins list of your Auth0 client in the Dashboard under your client's Settings.

- client.login(options, callback): Authenticates a user with username and password in a realm using `/oauth/token`. This will not initialize a SSO session at Auth0, hence can not be used along with silent authentication.

    auth0.client.login({
      realm: 'Username-Password-Authentication', //connection name or HRD domain
      username: 'info@auth0.com',
      password: 'areallystrongpassword',
      audience: 'https://mystore.com/api/v2',
      scope: 'read:order write:order',
      }, function(err, authResult) {
        // Auth tokens in the result or an error
    });

The contents of `authResult` are identical to those returned by `parseHash()`.

## auth0.Authentication

Provides an API client for the Auth0 Authentication API.

### Initialize

    var auth0 = new auth0.Authentication({
      domain: "{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}",
      clientID: "{YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID}"
    });

### API

- buildAuthorizeUrl(options): Builds and returns the `/authorize` url in order to initialize a new authN/authZ transaction. https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#database-ad-ldap-passive-
- buildLogoutUrl(options): Builds and returns the Logout url in order to initialize a new authN/authZ transaction. https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#logout
- loginWithDefaultDirectory(options, cb): Makes a call to the `oauth/token` endpoint with `password` grant type. https://auth0.com/docs/api-auth/grant/password
- login(options, cb): Makes a call to the `oauth/token` endpoint with `https://auth0.com/oauth/grant-type/password-realm` grant type.
- oauthToken(options, cb): Makes a call to the `oauth/token` endpoint.
- userInfo(token, cb): Makes a call to the `/userinfo` endpoint and returns the user profile.

## auth0.Management

Provides an API Client for the Auth0 Management API (only methods meant to be used from the client with the user token). You should use an access_token with the `https://YOUR_DOMAIN.auth0.com/api/v2/` audience to make this work. For more information, read here.

### Initialize

    var auth0 = new auth0.Management({
      domain: "{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}",
      token: "{ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_THE_USER}"
    });

### API

- getUser(userId, cb): Returns the user profile. https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/get_users_by_id
- patchUserMetadata(userId, userMetadata, cb): Updates the user metdata. It will patch the user metdata with the attributes sent. https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/patch_users_by_id
- linkUser(userId, secondaryUserToken, cb): Link two users. https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/post_identities
