hello.js ★ 4619 607 APPLICATION

This is a client-side JavaScript library that standardizes OAuth2 and OAuth1 authentication and API access to over 20 social networks and cloud services (Facebook, Google, Twitter, GitHub, Dropbox, etc.). It provides a unified API with methods like hello.init(), hello.login(), hello.logout(), hello.api(), and an event system for session lifecycle events. The library handles popup/redirect OAuth flows, token storage (localStorage with cookie fallback), and normalizes API responses into a consistent format. It supports multiple transport mechanisms (XHR, JSONP, iframe POST) and includes platform shims for Chrome Apps and PhoneGap. The architecture is modular: each provider is defined in a separate module with OAuth config, endpoint mappings, and response wrappers. The codebase includes extensive unit and e2e tests with stubbed API responses, demos for each provider, and a build system using Grunt and semantic-release. While actively maintained, it carries some technical debt from legacy browser support, vendored dependencies (Knockout.js, expect.js), and reliance on a third-party OAuth proxy for OAuth1 flows.
