# TokenSource

This is a Source-like component that goes through either traditional 'secret'
based login or a 'oidc' flow depending on the `type` argument given.

As with most of our Source components, the component only needs to be added to
the page in order to start the flow and is meant to be used as such (think
'this is like an `<img />`). It is also loosely based on a HTML `<input />`
element (it has `type` and `value` arguments/attributes)

When using the `oidc` type the component will go through the steps of
requesting the OIDC providers authorization URL from Consul, go through the
OIDC flow with the user and the 3rd party provider (via our `<JwtSource />`
component), then lastly exchanging the resulting JWT with Consul for a normal
Consul token.

When using the `secret` type, the component simply exchanges the users secret
for a normal Consul token.

This component **does not store the resulting token**, it only emits it via
its `onchange` argument/event handler. Errors are emitted via the `onerror`
argument/event handler.

```hbs preview-template
<figure>
  <figcaption>Provide a widget to login with</figcaption>

  <input
    oninput={{action (mut this.value) value="target.value"}}
    type="text"
  />
  <button
    type="button"
    {{on 'click' (fn (mut this.state) 'authenticating')}}
  >
    Login
  </button>
</figure>

<figure>
  <figcaption>When the button is clicked add TokenSource to the page</figcaption>

{{#if (eq this.state 'authenticating')}}
  <TokenSource
    @dc={{'dc-1'}}
    @nspace={{''}}
    @partition={{''}}
    @type={{or 'secret' 'oidc'}}
    @value={{this.value}}
    @onchange={{queue (action (mut this.token) value="data") (fn (mut this.state) '')}}
    @onerror={{queue (action (mut this.error) value="error.errors.firstObject") (fn (mut this.state) '')}}
  />
{{/if}}
</figure>
<figure>
  <figcaption>Show the results</figcaption>
  <dl>
{{#if this.token}}
    <dt>AccessorID</dt>
    <dd>{{this.token.AccessorID}}</dd>
{{/if}}
{{#if this.error}}
    <dt>Error</dt>
    <dd>{{this.error.detail}}</dd>
{{/if}}
  </dl>
</figure>
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `dc` | `String` | | The name of the current datacenter |
| `nspace` | `String` | | The name of the current namespace |
| `partition` | `String` | | The name of the current partition |
| `type` | `String` | | `secret` or `oidc`. `secret` is just traditional login, whereas `oidc` uses the users OIDC provider |
| `value` | `String` | | When `type` is `secret` this should be the users secret. When `type` is `oidc` this should be the name of the `AuthMethod` to use for authentication |
| `onchange` | `Function` |  | The action to fire when the data changes. Emits an Event-like object with a `data` property containing the jwt data, in this case the autorizationCode and the status |
| `onerror` | `Function` |  | The action to fire when an error occurs. Emits ErrorEvent object with an `error` property containing the Error. |
