# withAccessToken

Higher-order function fetching an authorization token to then access it. This makes it easier to handle OAuth in your different commands whether they're `view` commands, `no-view` commands, or `menu-bar` commands.

## Signature

```tsx
function withAccessToken<T = any>(
  options: WithAccessTokenParameters,
): <U extends WithAccessTokenComponentOrFn<T>>(
  fnOrComponent: U,
) => U extends (props: T) => Promise<void> | void ? Promise<void> : React.FunctionComponent<T>;
```

### Arguments

`options` is an object containing:

* `options.authorize`: a function that initiates the OAuth token retrieval process. It returns a promise that resolves to an access token.
* `options.personalAccessToken`: an optional string that represents an already obtained personal access token. When `options.personalAccessToken` is provided, it uses that token. Otherwise, it calls `options.authorize` to fetch an OAuth token asynchronously.
* `options.client`: an optional instance of a PKCE Client that you can create using Raycast API. This client is used to return the `idToken` as part of the `onAuthorize` callback below.
* `options.onAuthorize`: an optional callback function that is called once the user has been properly logged in through OAuth. This function is called with the `token`, its type (`oauth` if it comes from an OAuth flow or `personal` if it's a personal access token), and `idToken` if it's returned from `options.client`'s initial token set.

### Return

Returns the wrapped component if used in a `view` command or the wrapped function if used in a `no-view` command.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that the access token isn't injected into the wrapped component props. Instead, it's been set as a global variable that you can get with [getAccessToken](https://developers.raycast.com/utilities/oauth/getaccesstoken).
{% endhint %}

## Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="view\.tsx" %}

```tsx
import { List } from "@raycast/api";
import { withAccessToken } from "@raycast/utils";
import { authorize } from "./oauth";

function AuthorizedComponent(props) {
  return; // ...
}

export default withAccessToken({ authorize })(AuthorizedComponent);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="no-view\.tsx" %}

```tsx
import { showHUD } from "@raycast/api";
import { withAccessToken } from "@raycast/utils";
import { authorize } from "./oauth";

async function AuthorizedCommand() {
  await showHUD("Authorized");
}

export default withAccessToken({ authorize })(AuthorizedCommand);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="onAuthorize.tsx" %}

```tsx
import { OAuthService } from "@raycast/utils";
import { LinearClient, LinearGraphQLClient } from "@linear/sdk";

let linearClient: LinearClient | null = null;

const linear = OAuthService.linear({
  scope: "read write",
  onAuthorize({ token }) {
    linearClient = new LinearClient({ accessToken: token });
  },
});

function MyIssues() {
  return; // ...
}

export default withAccessToken(linear)(View);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Types

### WithAccessTokenParameters

```ts
type OAuthType = "oauth" | "personal";

type OnAuthorizeParams = {
  token: string;
  type: OAuthType;
  idToken: string | null; // only present if `options.client` has been provided
};

type WithAccessTokenParameters = {
  client?: OAuth.PKCEClient;
  authorize: () => Promise<string>;
  personalAccessToken?: string;
  onAuthorize?: (params: OnAuthorizeParams) => void;
};
```

### WithAccessTokenComponentOrFn

```ts
type WithAccessTokenComponentOrFn<T = any> = ((params: T) => Promise<void> | void) | React.ComponentType<T>;
```
