Hey, sorry to be jumpy...
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-Angular-js-and-Node-js

Angular is a javascript framework for building component html/client browser based apps.
In my angular app, any browser can run it and it will call api's on the back end.

Also you are welcome to add a client based SSO to the app I have on github:
https://github.com/foxjazz/evemonkey.git

Feel free to show off your skills, when it comes to SSO, I don't have any skills yet.
I don't believe making users get an API for this app is the right approach.

I don't know if you work for CCP but if you do:
Maybe you should allow facebook users to login to eve as facebook users.

Now yes I do have a small user base that enjoys the use of the evemarket tool.
And I can put in some client based arguments for adding notifications. I am not fond of polling.

have you looked at this: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/push-notifications/
I am green with it, but hey it's google.

I have had success with SignalR as a push notification service, it's very effective.
I haven't had time to configure your app yet. The thought of programming in java is holding me back.

However NodeJS is a great tool for developing server based apps.

NO I do not work for ccp.

yes, typically its always better to go event driven if given the option.


As I've said elsewhere, one of the toughest choices is picking your technologies and what silo's they will lock you into.
Nodejs (angular clients) is an excellent choice. It is used in-house where I work. I think your decision is rather to learn/code java for the backend, or jump into NodeJs server side coding if you don't want to rely on the java business tier concept.

The two languages are very different ... with javascript, everything is loosely typed and is a function, with java everything is tightly typed and is object oriented - everything is related to a class/object

I will say, once you get into a typed purely object oriented language, you will cuss if/when you ever have to go back

The java tool idea you suggested doesn't work in my case.
There would be no way to authenticate because none of the clients would have java code to run. My app is browser based only.
There is no install.

OAuth

Unless you can think of a way to provide http auth request that doesn't need a callback, the api key minimal is the only way I can think of making this work for me.

It's on a work account that I need to get off of so I can't share credentials. One reason I was offering up the CAC. A medium instance (3.7gig mem) is about 55 bucks a month. I can fire up the server and open up the port for you.

Here in Utah it's a long weekend and I'm leaving this morning and gone through Monday.

Just a quick note:

It's possible to do Eve SSO with the implicit path, thus receiving, at the client, an access token. (not, however, a refresh token. So you have 20 minutes before you need to auth again)

Doable in pure JS.

https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/market/viewer2/ is an example of how to do the auth, and interact with crest. Once you have the access token, you can access things like the location endpoint (assuming you asked for the scope for it)

Look at the code I provided.

The redirect from the SSO server takes you straight back to the same page you came from, and _javascript_ handles the auth. My server, other than serving the html and the js, doesn't get involved in the process.

Steve, I looked at the source as well.

Here is the problem I have with it:
the redirect is going to here:

https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/market/viewer2/&state=e2977fb7-2aa1-4d57-b007-765f5cf85480

Should I setup the same redirect and call something at fuzzwork to get a clientid?

As I was saying before, my app is client based browser only. There is no server. www.fuzzwork.co.uk/market/viewer2&state indicates there is a server action in play.
