This NPM package is a CLI that makes it quick and easy to get a valid access token for a Reaction GraphQL API running locally. The primary use cases are for developers running Reaction Development Platform locally and for automated tests that need to query a local or remote API instance.
npm install -g @reactioncommerce/hydra-tokenCurrently hydra-token get <userId> is the only command.
In the most common case where you're running the Reaction Hydra service on the same computer for development, just enter this whenever you need an access token to make authenticated API requests:
hydra-token get <userId>The userId is treated as an opaque value. The command does not look up in any database to confirm that this is a real user ID. If you mistype it, you'll still get an access token, but the API will reject your request because it cannot find any user with that ID.
The resulting token will expire after the length of time specified by the TTL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable for the Hydra service. This is only 1 hour by default. If having to get a new token every hour is bumming you out, you can set that environment variable to something higher (assuming you're not using this in a production environment).
Full help output:
$ hydra-token get --help
Usage: hydra-token get [options] <userId>
Calls Hydra's endpoints to request an access token that can be used to request data from the GraphQL API authenticated as this user.
Options:
-r,--raw Return the raw access token string, for piping or programmatic use
-p,--public-url <url> A Hydra public OAuth URL that can be accessed from this computer. Default is
http://localhost:4444
-a,--admin-url <url> A Hydra private admin URL that can be accessed from this computer. Default is
http://localhost:4445
-h, --help output usage informationhydra-token --helphydra-token --versionThe hydra-token get command, by having access to both the public OAuth endpoint and the normally-private Hydra admin endpoint, is able to act as both a browser and an identity provider. It creates a Hydra client and then does the entire standard OAuth flow as if it is both a user in a browser and that client. There is no browser emulation; it just makes all of the expected HTTP calls in the expected order and with the expected headers and cookies for a login flow.
For the most part, this tool is specific to Hydra OAuth but is not specific to Reaction Commerce. The only Reaction-specific part is that whatever string you pass as the userId argument becomes the subject of the granted token. It should be possible and easy to adapt this tool to another Hydra implementation.
The access token returned by the hydra-token get command will grant all the permissions that the user with the given ID has, and any user ID may be entered!
Additionally, this requires access to the Hydra admin URL, which does not require authentication and should never be public on the Internet. If you are using this against a deployment for automated tests, be very careful to use an IP address whitelist, VPN, or some other method of gaining access to the admin URL without exposing that port to the whole world.
