Fetch which responds to digest challenges for react native

Description

This package implements digest authentication for react native using the fetch library

Digest fetch takes the same parameters as whatwg/fetch, with the addition of two parameters: username and password.

If the server does not respond with a www-authenticate header this function will act exactly like fetch typically does.

Install

npm install --save react-native-digest-fetch

Usage

import fetch from 'react-native-digest-fetch';

...

digestFetch('http://api.test.com/endpoint/', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'content-type': 'application/json',
    'custom-header': 'anythingyouwant',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    hello: 'world',
  }),
  username: 'DIGEST_AUTH_USERNAME',
  password: 'DIGEST_AUTH_PASSWORD',
});

Advanced Usage

If you would like to use your own http interaction library, and just need the Digest header value, you can import getDigestHeaderValue like so:

import { getDigestHeaderValue } from 'react-native-digest-fetch';

and use it like so

getDigestHeaderValue(serverHeaders['www-authenticate'], { url, method, headers, username, password });

Web usage

This library has been tested on react-native and vanilla node, but has not been tested on a front-end node project.
