This library provides the easiest way to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 for Mastodon API in Flutter apps.

Show some ❤️ and star the repo to support the project.

1.1. Getting Started ⚡

1.1.1. Install Library

 flutter pub add mastodon_oauth2

1.1.2. Import

import 'package:mastodon_oauth2/mastodon_oauth2.dart';

1.1.3. Setup

At first to test with this library, let's set org.example.android.oauth://callback/ as a callback URI in your developer page.

You can see developer page of mastodon in the link like below.

https://mastodon.instance/settings/applications

And then, specify your redirect uri like below.

Set Callback URI

1.1.3.1. Android

On Android you must first set the minSdkVersion in the build.gradle file:

defaultConfig {
   ...
   minSdkVersion 18
   ...

Also it's necessary to add the following definitions to AndroidManifest.xml.

<activity android:name="com.linusu.flutter_web_auth_2.CallbackActivity" android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter android:label="flutter_web_auth_2">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="org.example.android.oauth" android:host="callback" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

You can see details here.

1.1.3.2. iOS

On iOS you need to set the platform in the ios/Podfile file:

platform :ios, '11.0'

1.1.3.3. Web

For Web, the implementation method for using this package is the same as for Android and iOS above, but it's necessary to separately create HTML for the destination to be redirected to after authentication.

Detailed instructions can be found in the README of the flutter_web_auth_2 package.

1.1.4. Implementation

Now all that's left is to launch the following example Flutter app and press the button to start the approval process with OAuth 2.0!

After pressing the Authorize button, a redirect will be performed and you will see that you have obtained your bearer token.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:mastodon_oauth2/mastodon_oauth2.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MaterialApp(home: Example()));
}

class Example extends StatefulWidget {
  const Example({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<Example> createState() => _ExampleState();
}

class _ExampleState extends State<Example> {
  String? _accessToken;
  String? _refreshToken;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => Scaffold(
        body: Center(
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
            crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
            children: [
              Text('Access Token: $_accessToken'),
              ElevatedButton(
                onPressed: () async {
                  final oauth2 = MastodonOAuth2Client(
                    // Specify mastodon instance like "example.mastodon.com"
                    instance: 'MASTODON_INSTANCE'
                    clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
                    clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
                    redirectUri: 'org.example.android.oauth://callback/',
                    customUriScheme: 'org.example.android.oauth',
                  );

                  final response = await oauth2.executeAuthCodeFlow(
                    scopes: Scope.values,
                  );

                  super.setState(() {
                    _accessToken = response.accessToken;
                  });
                },
                child: const Text('Push!'),
              )
            ],
          ),
        ),
      );
}
