Learn Http, Json-server and Nativescript

 Every developer who has attempted to demystify OAuth 2.0 must be presented with mind-bugging complicated flow diagrams. It becomes worse when you try to understand all the terminologies of OAuth 2.0 and Open ID protocols.

There is no getting around the OAuth 2.0 flow being complicated with back and forth between your browser, the service you are authenticating with, and the application you want to access. 

This course gets straight to the point without any application code distracting you from the core takeaway -- You will learn how to authenticate and authorize yourself using GitHub as your Auth Server.

We'll first cover the OAuth 2.0 flow for authentication and then integrate the Open ID protocol for authorization.

[**LIVE EVENT**: Register here for a live webinar with Christian on OAuth.](https://egghead.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Sxy1FEcoTea8UA6F7EDzLw) Bring any questions you have from taking this course!

JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers.

Understand the three basic parts of making HTTP requests in Elm: 1) Building the request, 2) Writing a JSON decoder, 3) Sending the request using the Elm runtime, and reacting to the results with messages.

HTTP requests are just pieces of data in Elm. When we want to send them, we hand them off to Elm's runtime, and it notifies us when the request is done. An important part of working with HTTP requests that fetch JSON is JSON decoding, the process by which we can turn untyped JSON data into Elm types that are safe to work with.

`curl` is how you make HTTP requests from the command line. It's awesome for testing out APIs because you have full control over all the headers that are sent, and you don't have to interact with a UI to send a request. 

We’ll learn how to make requests and change the HTTP method, set headers, and send JSON and url encoded form data. We'll also see how to increase readability by splitting long requests into multiple lines and formatting JSON responses with `jsome`, a node module.

Make HTTP Requests in Bash with `curl`

To make our opengraph image generation function, we'll have to work out a way to pass the querystring variables from the original URL through to the React script running inside the headless browser. We choose to set them on the window using another injected script, and we also cover handling URL decoding of querystring components.

Passing variables to serverless functions using query strings

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

The main purpose of a web server is to export an api. The most common protocol is http requsts. In this lesson, we will learn how to benchmark your app's http api's using autocannon in order to be able to track down performance bottlenecks or inefficient code.

Benchmark http requests using autocannonjs

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

In this video, we start by going to Begin.com and creating a new Deno app. We then clone the repo, inspect the code, and modify the response from HTML to JSON data. Next, we deploy the updates in an automated CI / CD process by merging the updates to our master GitHub branch.

Up and Running with Deno

We're adding Github authorization to our client app

Create a function that is called on window load. In that function store the parameters that get sent over to the Github auth server. 

In our query params, we will set the response_type parameter to "code" in order to ask the auth server for a code. Asking for a code from the auth server is more secure than asking for the access token through a browser

Finally, create a URL from the params and an authorization endpoint. Using a query selector select an anchor tag and set the href attribute to the URL that you created.

Add GitHub Authorization to an OAuth Client App

We'll create our client-server using the `express` and `cors` packages

Express will be used to create our HTTP application. We'll need it to post to our endpoints and listen to our port.

We need the `cors` package to make cross-origin requests since the front-end will be a different origin than the server.

Create an OAuth Client-Server for code/token exchange

We'll be parsing the authorization code sent in our query before sending it to the server.

We do this by creating a function that parses our query and retrieves the code parameter. If we find a code in the query we send the code to our server by using `fetch` to make a `POST` request. In the body of the request we send the code and the state in stringified JSON.

Once we make the request we can await a response and store its JSON data (the auth token) in a variable. In a real application, we might also redirect to the homepage or the page the user was just on.

Parse for the Auth Code in a Query before Sending It to a Server

We're going to refactor some of our HTTP application code in order to create the ability to exchange the code inside our HTTP request for a token. 

We can do this by creating a function that takes the code from a request and posts a query that contains our client id and secret to our token endpoint. We then await a response, parse the data from the response, and then return the parsed data.

Exchange Auth Code in a Request for an Access Token

We're going to fetch a user with that token we exchanged the code parameter for in the previous lesson. 

All we have to do is make a fetch request to the `/user` endpoint with an Authorization header that contains the token and then return the data. Like this ``Authorization: `Bearer ${token}``

Fetch Protected Data from a Resource Server with an Access Token

In this lesson, we'll learn how to add https (and remove http) support to the localhost version of our express application. By adding https support, we'll be able to prevent a MITM (in this case Charles Proxy) from reading our session id, mitigating the attack known as "session hijacking".

Add https to a Localhost Express App to Prevent MITM Attacks

In this lesson, we'll learn how to use Charles Proxy to “sniff” the web traffic flowing an example website using an attack known as a Man in the Middle attack, or MITM. Because our example website is using http and not https, you'll “discover” a vulnerable piece of user data called a session id being transmitted in cleartext across every request. This info will become the central piece of data that we'll learn how to protect throughout this course.

Bootstrap is an incredibly popular CSS framework designed to make your website look great on mobile and desktop.

By the end of this course, you'll be familiar with many of the popular classes and components that Bootstrap uses to apply in your own projects.

For each feature you build in the course, you'll get a sense for what the relevant classes do for those components and links to documentation for further exploration.

For the course demo application, we will analyze the landing pages of Microsoft and Apple to identify common components that are implemented. When these are identified, you'll implement these components yourself with Bootstrap.

You'll build several common UI elements such as a nav bar, a carousel of images, Cards, and Forms.

Through building these components, you'll understand what is behind the different classes Bootstrap gives you and get familiar with how it exposes flex and grid layout for you.
