# EdgeGrid for Node.js

![Build Status](https://github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-node/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)

This library implements an Authentication handler for the Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication scheme in JavaScript for environments supporting the [WHATWG Fetch Standard](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/)

## Install

`npm install --save @akamai-consulting/edgegrid-js-fetch`

## Authentication

You can obtain the authentication credentials through an API client. Requests to the API are marked with a timestamp and a signature and are executed immediately.

1. [Create authentication credentials](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/set-up-authentication-credentials).

2. Place your credentials in an EdgeGrid file `~/.edgerc`, in the `[default]` section.

    ```
    [default]
    client_secret = C113nt53KR3TN6N90yVuAgICxIRwsObLi0E67/N8eRN=
    host = akab-h05tnam3wl42son7nktnlnnx-kbob3i3v.luna.akamaiapis.net
    access_token = akab-acc35t0k3nodujqunph3w7hzp7-gtm6ij
    client_token = akab-c113ntt0k3n4qtari252bfxxbsl-yvsdj
    ```

3. Use your local `.edgerc` by creating a stream providing contents of your edgerc file.

    ```javascript
    import {EdgeGridCredentials, EdgeGrid}  from '@akamai-consulting/edgegrid-js-fetch';

    const config = await EdgeGridCredentials.parseEdgercStream(
      Readable.toWeb(fs.createReadStream(
        path.join(os.homedir(), '.edgerc')
      ))
    );
    ```

    Alternatively, you can hard code your credentials by passing the credential values to the `EdgeGridCredentials()` constructor.

    ```javascript
    import {EdgeGridCredentials, EdgeGrid}  from '@akamai-consulting/edgegrid-js-fetch';

    const clientSecret = "C113nt53KR3TN6N90yVuAgICxIRwsObLi0E67/N8eRN=",
          host = "akab-h05tnam3wl42son7nktnlnnx-kbob3i3v.luna.akamaiapis.net";
          accessToken = "akab-acc35t0k3nodujqunph3w7hzp7-gtm6ij",
          clientToken = "akab-c113ntt0k3n4qtari252bfxxbsl-yvsdj",
        

    const config = new EdgeGridCredentials(client_secret, host, access_token, client_token);
    ```

## Use

The `EdgeGrid` class can be used to create a signed `Request` object

```javascript
// Create EdgeGrid object from config
const eg = new EdgeGrid(config);

// Create Signed Request to get list of EdgeWorkers
const request = await eg.signRequest('/edgeworkers/v1/ids');

// Make request using the standard `fetch`
const response = await fetch(request);
```

The `EdgeGrid` class can also be used to directly perform a fetch, with the same options as the standard `fetch`

```javascript
// Create EdgeGrid object from config
const eg = new EdgeGrid(config);

// Sign and fetch in a single step
const response = await eg.fetch('/edgeworkers/v1/ids');
```
