popup-oauth | A popup that reads address information

popup-oauth is a JavaScript library. popup-oauth has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This exists because i couldn’t find one that did this. What it does ===. Creates a popup to anything. When it can read the location again (aka on the same domain, like after the redirect to callback_url), it can close the window if your defined condition is met. Then you’ll have access to whatever the url was at that time. You’re integrating with facebook (without their SDK). To log a user in, you have to redirect to facebook.com/auth?scope=&appid= or whatever. The user then potentially logs in, accepts or denies your app, and then facebook redirects to your callback url with the information in the url. If it’s totally server-side, the user must be redirected away, which sucks for just linking facebook to an account, since it feels so heavy. To do it client side, you have to put the redirect dance into a popup then have the popup relay information to you after the oauth dance.
