Common ConceptsThe pathfix oauth library is loaded by including the helper.js in the following manner. 
HTML
|
<script src="https://labs.pathfix.com/helper.js"
 data-user-id="[your application user email or id]" 
 data-public-key="[your application public key in pathfix]" 
 id="pinc.helper" modules="pinc.oauth.min" ></script>
                        
<script src="https://labs.pathfix.com/helper.js"
 data-user-id="[your application user email or id]" 
 data-public-key="[your application public key in pathfix]" 
 id="pinc.helper" modules="pinc.oauth.min" ></script>

Although the oauth.js can be loaded from the same location it will not work independently. It needs a few dependencies that are loaded by the helper.js
﻿
﻿
﻿
Pathfix, OnLoadWhen the Pathfix helper library is ready it calls back a global function on the page. This is the place you should be attaching handlers to monitor the loading of other libraries. See example below...

            function $pinc_onload(){
                //Pathfix library is ready, are you :)
                //monitor events of the oauth library
                $pinc.events.on("$pinc.oauth","ready",()=>{
                    /*Good place to check if the previous authorizations
                    by the user and alter the display of your page.

                },true)

Event HandlersEvents to all Pathfix libraries are attached using a standard syntax.
JS
|

//adding an event listener
$pinc.events.on(library,eventName,callback,forceInvoke);

//removing an event listener
$pinc.events.off(library,eventName,callback);



//adding an event listener
$pinc.events.on(library,eventName,callback,forceInvoke);

//removing an event listener
$pinc.events.off(library,eventName,callback);

Argumentslibrary
required
Name of the library that you'd want to attach to. For oauth library use "$pinc.oauth" as a string.
eventName
required
Eventname to be sent across as string eg. "ready"﻿
callback
required
Event handler reference.
forceInvoke
optional
If true, it forces your callback to be invoked if the event was fired before you attached your handler. 
ExampleJS
|
$pinc.events.on("$pinc.oauth","ready",callback,true);
$pinc.events.on("$pinc.oauth","ready",callback,true);
