Settings

The settings (including provider configurations) can be overridden with the plugins configuration file: config/patron.php, _(*19)

It's recommended that sensitive data (such as the client secret) is accessed via environmental variables:, _(*20)

[
    'providerHandle' => [
        'clientId' => getenv('SOME_PROVIDER_CLIENT_ID'),
        'clientSecret' => getenv('SOME_PROVIDER_CLIENT_SECRET'),
    ],
    'anotherProviderHandle' => [
            'clientId' => getenv('SOME_OTHER_PROVIDER_CLIENT_ID'),
            'clientSecret' => getenv('SOME_OTHER_PROVIDER_CLIENT_SECRET'),
        ]
]

Third Party Providers

Adding addition providers to Patron is handled through the following events:, _(*21)

1. Register a compatible The PHP League OAuth2 provider using a fully qualified class name. The PHP League has an extensive list that have been contributed by the community., _(*22)

   \yii\base\Event::on(
       \flipbox\patron\cp\Cp::class,
       \flipbox\patron\events\RegisterProviders::REGISTER_PROVIDERS,
       function (\flipbox\patron\events\RegisterProviders $event) {
           $event->providers[] = '\your\fully\qualified\provider\class\name'; // Ex: \Stevenmaguire\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Salesforce::class
       }
   );
   

2. [Optional] Register a settings interface for the Provider. If your provider can be configured, the settings interface will enable configuration inputs via the Craft CP. The settings interface will be registered on the same provider class in step 1., _(*23)

   \yii\base\Event::on(
       '\your\fully\qualified\provider\class\name', // Ex: \Stevenmaguire\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Salesforce::class
       \flipbox\patron\events\RegisterProviderSettings::REGISTER_SETTINGS,
       function (\flipbox\patron\events\RegisterProviderSettings $event) {
           $event->class = '\your\fully\qualified\settings\class\name';  // Ex: \flipbox\patron\salesforce\settings\SalesforceSettings::class
       }
   );
   

3. [Optional] Register additional info for the Provider. Throughout the Craft CP we use a provider name and icon. Register the following in order to specify these values:, _(*24)

   
   \yii\base\Event::on(
       \flipbox\patron\cp\Cp::class,
       \flipbox\patron\events\RegisterProviderInfo::REGISTER_INFO,
       function (\flipbox\patron\events\RegisterProviderInfo $event) {
           $event->info['\your\fully\qualified\provider\class\name] = [
               'name' => 'Your Provider', 
               'icon' => '/path/to/icon.svg' // Ex: '@vendor/flipboxfactory/patron-salesforce/icons/salesforce.svg'
           ];
       }
   );
   
   

As an example, here are a few third-party provider packages to reference: * Salesforce OAuth2 Provider for Patron * HubSpot OAuth2 Provider for Patron, _(*25)

Provider Locking

A provider can be 'locked' by a plugin. As a result, only the plugin (that locked it) can delete the provider. This is useful when another plugin is using Patron to manage it's OAuth2 connections, which may not be apparent., _(*26)

```php

/** @var \flipbox\patron\records\Provider $provider */
/** @var \craft\base\PluginInterface $yourPlugin */


$provider->saveAndLock($yourPlugin);

```
