Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// We previously obtained an access token and saved the JSON to a file using this example:
// Get OAuth2 Access Token for Azure Registered App

// This example will examine the JSON and expiration date, and if near expiration will
// refresh the access token.

var json = new CkJsonObject();
success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/_myAzureApp.json");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log("Failed to load the access token.");

// The contents of the JSON look like this:
// {
//   "token_type": "Bearer",
//   "scope": "User.Read Mail.ReadWrite Mail.Send",
//   "expires_in": 3600,
//   "ext_expires_in": 0,
//   "access_token": "EwBAA8l6B...",
//   "refresh_token": "MCRMdbe6Cd...",
//   "id_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJ...",
//   "expires_on": "1494112119"
// }

// The "expires_on" value is a Unix time.
var dtExpire = new CkDateTime();
dtExpire.SetFromUnixTime(false,json.IntOf("expires_on"));

// If this date/time expires within 10 minutes of the current system time, refresh the token.
if (dtExpire.ExpiresWithin(10,"minutes") !== true) {
    console.log("No need to refresh, the access token won't expire within the next 10 minutes.");
    return;
}

// OK, we need to refresh the access token..

// See How to Choose the Correct Endpoints for your Azure App Registration

// If an "expires_on" member does not exist, then add the JSON member by
// getting the current system date/time and adding the "expires_in" seconds.
// This way we'll know when the token expires.
