I’m a bit lost trying to figure the API out this last week, I’m able to figure out how to do a fetch and receive the data back with vanilla JS, but I can’t quite figure out how to have a button a visitor clicks, that will run through the authorization process, and redirect afterwards. For example, using a GET request to print out the bit leaderboard in a simple list.
I’m familiar with express, node, mongo, and templating engines, but I can’t quite piece together something as simple as running a GET request from a button, and returning a new page (via EJS or some other templating engine). I’ve been browsing github for examples, or trying to figure out the node example from the docs, but it’s a struggle!
Below is what I’d like to go for (just to learn), I don’t expect help making the app itself, but does anyone have recommendations for simple repositories I can look through?
It doesn’t do the DB call but it shows how you’d get a token and use that token to see if another user logging into the site/tool is a moderator or not.
You would not normally do a “plain vanilla JS Fetch request” here for the work flow described in you image.
Sure you would use a button + vanilla JS fetch request to instruct the backend to go collect moderators.
But you wouldn’t use a button + vanilla JS fetch request to go collect moderators
Oh man this GitHub repo is the best, I think something like the authentication > oidc_authentication example is more what I’m looking for.
The end goal is to just have a button a twitch broadcaster can click, they authorize the app, and then it displays their moderator list. Sorry about the flow-chart, not something I’m used to doing. As for the fetch, I have it setup so it does a vanilla JS fetch and stores it on the mongoDB, and it at least works for the bearer token I already have from my personal twitch account, though obviously still figuring out how to allow anyone to use it. But what do you mean by:
you wouldn’t use a button + vanilla JS fetch request to go collect moderators
