import LiquidAuthenticator from "liquid-node-authenticator";

const liquidAuthenticator = new LiquidAuthenticator({
host: "host_address_of_your_liquid_instance",
clientId: "your_liquid_client_id",
clientSecret: "your_liquid_client_secret",
scope: "scope1,scope2,scope3",
// Optional
cacheOptions: {
client: RedisClient,
expire: 300, // 5 minutes
},
// Optional
debugging: true, // Print console logs
});
`

#### Authenticate a user connecting to your microservice

`js
const tokenDetails = await liquidAuthenticator.authenticate(token);

// Now use tokenDetails.user in the rest of your logic.
`

#### Get access token for accessing client level APIs

`js
const { accessToken } = await liquidAuthenticator.getAccessToken();
// Make APIs calls that requires client authentication.
`

#### Check if a scope is allowed for a token

`js
const allowed = liquidAuthenticator.checkTokenScope(
"your:scope:name",
token / tokenDetails object acqurired in authenticate() function /
);

if (allowed) {
// Scope is allowed, continue with action
} else {
// Scope is NOT allowed, send insufficient priviledge error
}
