1. Guide ?

This library provides the easiest way to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 PKCE for Twitter API in Dart and Flutter apps.

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

We recommend using this library in combination with the twitter_api_v2 which wraps the Twitter API v2.0!

1.1. Getting Started ⚡

1.1.1. Install Library

With Dart:

 dart pub add twitter_oauth2_pkce

Or With Flutter:

 flutter pub add twitter_oauth2_pkce

1.1.2. Import

import 'package:twitter_oauth2_pkce/twitter_oauth2_pkce';

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 Twitter Developer‘s portal.

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.CallbackActivity" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter android:label="flutter_web_auth"> <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'

1.1.4. 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 PKCE!

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

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:twitter_oauth2_pkce/twitter_oauth2_pkce.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'), Text('Refresh Token: $_refreshToken'), ElevatedButton( onPressed: () async { final oauth = TwitterOAuth( clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID', clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', redirectUri: 'org.example.android.oauth://callback/', customUriScheme: 'org.example.android.oauth', ); final response = await oauth.executeAuthCodeFlowWithPKCE( scopes: Scope.values, ); super.setState(() { _accessToken = response.accessToken; _refreshToken = response.refreshToken; }); }, child: const Text('Push!'), ) ], ), ), ); }
