--------------------------------------------
Summary: Improve integration of oAuth authorization into workflow
Key: WOOKIE-385
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-385
Project: Wookie
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Feature Management
Affects Versions: 0.14.0
Reporter: Matthias Niederhausen
Priority: Minor
The oAuth authorization step could be better integrated into widgets'
workflows. Two different actions could be taken:
1. Allow to show the authorization page in an iframe. The iframe could be shown
as an overlay within the widget and not as a popup (which disrupts and also has
usability issues on mobile devices).
2. Offer developers some callback function when calling oAuth.authenticate()
that is called when the process has completed. For my widget, I am currently
using the construct:
oAuth.authenticate();
var timer = setInterval(function() {
if (oAuth.status == "F") {
alert("Could not load contacts.");
clearInterval(timer);
}
else if (oAuth.status == "A") {
loadGoogleContacts();
clearInterval(timer);
}
}, 500);
Usually, one wants to load data immediately after access has been granted (or
denied). I guess that other developers will want something similar, so maybe
integrate it into the oAuth library?
