This is a sample app built using Node.js and Express Framework to showcase how to Authorize and Authenticate using Intuit’s OAuth2.0 Client library.

Installation

Requirements

• Node.js >= 8.x.
• Intuit Developer Account

Via Github Repo (Recommended)

$ npm install

Configuration

Copy the contents from .env.example to .env within the sample directory:

$ cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file to add your:

• PORT:(optional) Optional port number for the app to be served
• NGROK_ENABLED:(optional) By default it is set to false. If you want to serve the Sample App over HTTPS ( which is mandatory if you want to test this app using Production Credentials), set the variable to true

TLS / SSL (optional)

If you want your enpoint to be exposed over the internet. The easiest way to do that while you are still developing your code locally is to use ngrok.

You dont have to worry about installing ngrok. The sample application does that for you.

1. Just set NGROK_ENABLED = true in .env

Usage

$ npm start

Without ngrok (if you are using localhost i.e NGROK_ENABLED=false in .env)

You will see an URL as below:

💳 See the Sample App in your browser : http://localhost:8000 
💳 Copy this into Redirect URI on the browser : http://localhost:8000/callback
💻 Make Sure this redirect URI is also copied on your app in : https://developer.intuit.com

With ngrok (if you are using ngrok i.e NGROK_ENABLED=true in .env)

Your will see an URL as below :

💻 See the Sample App in your browser: https://9b4ee833.ngrok.io 
💳 Copy and paste this Redirect URI on the browser : https://9b4ee833.ngrok.io/callback
💻 Make Sure this redirect URI is also copied on your app in : https://developer.intuit.com
