+ |

+ privateKey
+ |
+
+ string
+ |
+
+ Required. Content of the *.pem file you downloaded from the app’s about page. You can generate a new private key if needed. If your private key contains escaped newlines (`\\n`), they will be automatically replaced with actual newlines.

+ request
+ |
+
+ function
+ |
+ + +Automatically set to `octokit.request` when using with an `Octokit` constructor. + +For standalone usage, you can pass in your own [`@octokit/request`](https://github.com/octokit/request.js) instance. For usage with enterprise, set `baseUrl` to the hostname + `/api/v3`. Example: + +```js +import { request } from "@octokit/request"; +createAppAuth({ + appId: 1, + privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...", + request: request.defaults({ + baseUrl: "https://ghe.my-company.com/api/v3", + }), +}); +``` + + |
+ cache
+ |
+
+ object
+ |
+
+ Installation tokens expire after an hour. By default, @octokit/auth-app is caching up to 15000 tokens simultaneously using lru-cache. You can pass your own cache implementation by passing options.cache.{get,set} to the constructor. Example:
+
+```js
+const CACHE = {};
+createAppAuth({
+ appId: 1,
+ privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
+ cache: {
+ async get(key) {
+ return CACHE[key];
+ },
+ async set(key, value) {
+ CACHE[key] = value;
+ },
+ },
+});
+```
+
+ |
+ log
+ |
+
+ object
+ |
+
+ You can pass in your preferred logging tool by passing option.log to the constructor. If you would like to make the log level configurable using an environment variable or external option, we recommend the console-log-level package. For example:
+
+```js
+import consoleLogLevel from "console-log-level";
+createAppAuth({
+ appId: 1,
+ privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
+ log: consoleLogLevel({ level: "info" }),
+});
