Example usage

import {createClass} from "asteroid";
import * as asteroidOauthMixin from "asteroid-oauth";
 
const Asteroid = createClass([asteroidOauthMixin]);
 
const asteroid = new Asteroid({platform, endpoint});
 
/*
*   You need to define a `getServiceConfig` method (either in a mixin or on the
*   instance itself) which returns a plain object containing the configuration
*   for the specified provider. Such configurations are stored in the
*   `meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration` collection, which the oauth
*   mixin automatically retrieves by subscribing to
*   `meteor.loginServiceConfiguration`, a subscription published - by default -
*   by the meteor server.
*   A naive implementation could be the following:
*/
asteroid.ddp.on("added", ({collection, id, fields}) => {
    if (collection === "meteor_accounts_loginServiceConfiguration") {
        asteroid.loginServiceConfiguration = {
            ...asteroid.loginServiceConfiguration,
            [id]: {
                _id: id,
                ...fields
            }
        };
    }
});
asteroid.getServiceConfig = providerName => {
    return this.loginServiceConfiguration[providerName];
}
 
/*
*   Somewhere in your code
*/
 
asteroid.loginWith("facebook")
    .then(() => console.log("login successful"))
    .catch(() => console.log("error logging in"))
 

Example usage with asteroid-immutable-collections-mixin:

import {createClass} from "asteroid";
import * as asteroidOauthMixin from "asteroid-oauth";
import * as asteroidImmutableMixin from "asteroid-immutable-collections-mixin";
 
const Asteroid = createClass([asteroidImmutableMixin, asteroidOauthMixin]);
 
const asteroid = new Asteroid({platform, endpoint});
 
/*
*   Somewhere in your code
*/
 
asteroid.loginWith("facebook")
    .then(() => console.log("login successful"))
    .catch(() => console.log("error logging in"))
