State of using remotestorage.js with node about remotestorage.io

[raucao]

You'd have to implement an OAuth UI for your users and store the tokens. It's the normal OAuth 2.0 access token flow.

Thanks, so I can easily take remote_storage_wire_bearerToken from localstorage as soon as a user has successfully connected and use it on the server to fetch for data of this user?

Hi together,

can someone tell me if it's already possible to access a normal remoteStorage provider (like 5apps.com) with node?
As far as I can tell from reading https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/unhosted/kI9DI_9xt28 I have to set the bearer token on the server what I can only do on my own server. So it's not working in the moment?
Do you have any plans for the node support?

Thanks!

you might like to check: https://github.com/jcoglan/remotestorage-oauth
also please share with us updates about your progress on using remoteStorage from node apps!

@jorin-vogel you shouldn't get remote_storage_* keys from localStorage directly. I've added remoteStorage.getBearerToken for that now.
Once you have a token, you can use remoteStorage.nodeConnect to connect.

@elf-pavlik thanks for sharing the link but for the use-case I'm thinking of I need a web-interface anyway.

@nilclass I were looking at http://remotestoragejs.com/build/0.7.0-head/remoteStorage and couldn't find the getBearerToken method but thanks for letting me now that it's available now. Does remoteStorage provide some way to access remote_storage_widget_useraddress too?

[nilclass]

No, but once you are connected you can use remoteStorage.getStorageHref and pass that as href to nodeConnect.setStorageInfo. That way the nodejs part doesn't have to do another webfinger discovery.

I have one more question:
What do I have to do to get the bearer token?
I include http://remotestoragejs.com/build/0.7.0-head/remoteStorage.js and the root module.
Calling remoteStorage.claimAccess({'root':'rw'}); remoteStorage.displayWidget('remotestorage-connect'); works.
Logging in with [email protected] works.
But when I now call remoteStorage.getBearerToken() it returns undefined.
What am I missing?

Indeed.

What am I missing?

Nothing.

Should work now. Sorry for the mess.

[jorinvo]

Thanks!

Hey Jorin, out of curiosity, what are you working on?

I try to build a small service which automatically sends you backups of your remoteStorage into your mailbox. A first version is already running on heroku and the source is on github. It's not ready yet but some of the functionality is already working. Check it out and feel free to contribute! Here are the open issues and I could need some help with this remoteStorage.js issues.

@Epic720: Maybe you could help out with the data generation and zipping as it should be familiar for you. That would be awesome!

@jorin-vogel this is so simple and great! Now I don’t need to sweat anymore when dogfooding remotestorage apps!
