Canvas LMS Provider for OAuth 2.0 Client php 7.4 and above
==========================================================

[](#canvas-lms-provider-for-oauth-20-client-php-74-and-above)

[![Latest Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b17409a0f88208de1e6756b43d35b465f7371b2ad6e734e8dc629f3fe256f938/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f7374657068656e636f64756f722f6f61757468322d63616e7661736c6d732e737667)](https://packagist.org/packages/stephencoduor/oauth2-canvaslms)

This package provides Canvas LMS OAuth 2.0 support for the PHP League's [OAuth 2.0 Client](https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client).

Install
-------

[](#install)

Require the package as below

```
composer require stephencoduor/oauth2-canvaslms

```

Use
---

[](#use)

Same as the League's OAuth client, using `\stephencoduor\OAuth2\Client\Provider\CanvasLMS` as the provider. Note that you can (and really should) include a `purpose` option parameter and you will need to include your `canvasInstanceUrl`.

Per the [Canvas OAUth docs](https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.oauth.html#oauth2-flow-0):

> For Canvas Cloud (hosted by Instructure), you can request a client ID and secret from  in the Dev Key Signup section.
>
> For open source Canvas users, you can generate a client ID and secret in the Site Admin account of your Canvas install. There will be a "Developer Keys" tab on the left navigation sidebar.

A small example:

```
use stephencoduor\OAuth2\Client\Provider\CanvasLMS;

session_start();

/* anti-fat-finger constant definitions */
define('CODE', 'code');
define('STATE', 'state');
define('STATE_LOCAL', 'oauth2-state');

/* Instantiate the class and pass the required configs ie clientId ,clientSecret, and urls */
$provider = new CanvasLMS([
    'clientId' => '676434567890',
    'clientSecret' => 'A8h7dZy6i4QS4GkBqrWUxr9jUdgcZobpVMCEBmOGMNa2D3Ab478A',
    'purpose' => 'Application Name here',
    'redirectUri' => 'https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/' . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'],
    'canvasInstanceUrl' => 'https://canvas.instructure.com'
]);

/* if we don't already have an authorization code, let's get one! */
if (!isset($_GET[CODE])) {
    $authorizationUrl = $provider->getAuthorizationUrl();
    $_SESSION[STATE_LOCAL] = $provider->getState();
    header("Location: $authorizationUrl");
    exit;

/* check that the passed state matches the stored state to mitigate cross-site request forgery attacks */
} elseif (empty($_GET[STATE]) || $_GET[STATE] !== $_SESSION[STATE_LOCAL]) {
    unset($_SESSION[STATE_LOCAL]);
    exit('Invalid state');

} else {
    /* try to get an access token (using our existing code) */
    $token = $provider->getAccessToken('authorization_code', [CODE => $_GET[CODE]]);

    /* do something with that token... (probably not just print to screen, but whatevs...) */
    echo $token->getToken();
    exit;
}
```
