Function Details

add_first_party_caveat/2

add_first_party_caveat(Macaroon::macaroon(), Caveat::iodata()) -> macaroon()

Returns a new macaroon with new first-party caveat.

add_third_party_caveat/4

add_third_party_caveat(Macaroon::macaroon(), Location::iodata(), Key::iodata(), Id::iodata()) -> macaroon()

Returns a new macaroon with new third-party caveat. The caveat is built from given location (hint), key (secret) and id (public) attributes.

create/3

create(Location::iodata(), Key::iodata(), Id::iodata()) -> macaroon()

Creates a macaroon with set location (hint), key (secret) and id (public) attributes.

deserialize/1

deserialize(Data::iodata()) -> {ok, macaroon()} | {error, macaroon_invalid}

Deserializes a macaroon from base64url-encoded binary. The serialized format must be compatible with libmacaroons reference implementation.

identifier/1

identifier(Macaroon::macaroon()) -> binary()

Returns macaroon's identifier (public) attribute.

inspect/1

inspect(Macaroon::macaroon()) -> binary()

Returns a human-readable binary that describes the macaroon. The function is only intended for debugging, and can for example be used with io:format("~s", [inspect(M)]).

location/1

location(Macaroon::macaroon()) -> binary()

Returns macaroon's location (hint) attribute.

prepare_for_request/2

prepare_for_request(Macaroon::macaroon(), Dispatch::macaroon()) -> macaroon()

Returns a new discharge macaroon bounded to the parent macaroon.

serialize/1

serialize(Macaroon::macaroon()) -> {ok, binary()} | {error, {too_long, term()}}

Serializes the macaroon into base64url-encoded binary. The serialized format is compatible with libmacaroons reference implementation.

signature/1

signature(Macaroon::macaroon()) -> binary()

Returns macaroon's signature.

suggested_secret_length/0

suggested_secret_length() -> non_neg_integer()

Returns the ideal length of secret key used for creating macaroons.

third_party_caveats/1

third_party_caveats(Macaroon::macaroon()) -> [{Location::binary(), Id::binary}]

Returns a list of third-party caveats of the macaroon. Each caveat is represented as a {location (hint), id (public)} tuple.
