Function: startLoopbackOAuthServer()

function startLoopbackOAuthServer(args?: {
    port?: number;
    redirectHost?: string;
    redirectPath?: string;
}): Promise<LoopbackOAuthServer>;

Defined in: electron/services/cloud/oauth/LoopbackOAuthServer.ts:285

Starts a loopback OAuth server.

Parameters​

args?​

port?​

number

redirectHost?​

string

redirectPath?​

string

Optional path portion of the redirect URI.

Remarks

Some providers (e.g. Google) recommend loopback redirect URIs without an explicit path (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:{port}). Others require a fixed callback path. This option supports both patterns.

Returns​

Promise<LoopbackOAuthServer>

Remarks​

The server listens on both IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses to support environments where localhost resolves to ::1.
