feat(connectors): add OAuth connector resource by Paveltarno · Pull Request #189 · base44/cli

Paveltarno · 2026-02-04T09:14:03Z

Note

Description

This PR adds comprehensive support for OAuth connector management in the Base44 CLI. Users can now define OAuth integrations (Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, etc.) in local connector files and sync them to Base44 using the new base44 connectors push command, which handles OAuth authorization flows automatically with browser-based authentication and real-time status polling.

Changes Made

Core Infrastructure:

Added connector resource module (src/core/resources/connector/) following the existing Resource pattern
Implemented Zod schemas for 12 known OAuth providers (Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Slides, Slack, Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, TikTok)
Added support for arbitrary custom OAuth providers with regex validation
Implemented file parsing from connectors/*.json(c) with duplicate detection
Added API client for connector operations (list, set, remove, OAuth status)

CLI Command:

Implemented base44 connectors push command with interactive OAuth flow
Automatic browser opening for OAuth authorization
Real-time status polling with 2-minute timeout and 2-second intervals
Smart CI detection (skips OAuth prompts in CI environments)
Comprehensive summary output showing synced/added/removed/failed connectors

Integration:

Integrated connectors into project config loading pipeline
Updated ProjectData interface with typed connectors field
Added connectorsDir configuration option (defaults to connectors/)
Updated AGENTS.md with connector module architecture documentation

Testing:

Added 360+ lines of unit tests for connector module (tests/core/connectors.spec.ts)
Added CLI integration tests for push command (tests/cli/connectors_push.spec.ts)
Added test fixtures for various scenarios (valid connectors, duplicates, invalid files)
Added API mock utilities to testkit for connector endpoints
All tests pass with comprehensive coverage of sync logic, OAuth flows, and error handling

Code Quality:

Applied camelCase transformations using Zod .transform() for API responses
Enhanced error handling with per-connector error tracking
Proper handling of edge cases (different user, expired tokens, network failures)
Path traversal protection for custom connector types

Testing

I have tested these changes locally
I have added/updated tests as needed
All tests pass (npm test)

Checklist

My code follows the project's style guidelines
I have performed a self-review of my own code
I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
I have made corresponding changes to the documentation (if applicable)
My changes generate no new warnings
I have updated AGENTS.md if I made architectural changes

Additional Notes

OAuth Flow Details:

The authorization flow automatically opens the user's browser when a connector requires OAuth
Polls the OAuth status endpoint every 2 seconds with a 2-minute timeout
Handles multiple authorization states: ACTIVE (success), PENDING (timeout), FAILED (error)
In CI environments (process.env.CI), OAuth flows are automatically skipped

Sync Behavior:

Syncs local connectors to Base44 (updates scopes if already authorized)
Removes remote connectors not present in local project (maintains single source of truth)
Handles edge cases: different user already connected, expired tokens, network failures
Provides detailed per-connector error messages in the summary

Architecture:

Follows existing Resource pattern with readAll and push interface
Supports both JSON and JSONC file formats in connectors/ directory
Known providers use predefined schemas; custom providers validated with regex
31 files changed representing a complete feature implementation with tests

Use .tranform to transform the response the camelCase (there's examples for this in other resources)

Maybe it's because i don't like "setConnector" name, but this name is also not clear to me - maybe something like "getConnectorSyncResult"?

Fixed in 65d3b25 - renamed to getConnectorSyncResult

Not sure this description is really clear, "removed unlisted"?

can we flip and exit early?

Just to add some ticks on the name of the connector

Suggested change

`Waiting for ${connector.type} authorization...`,

`Waiting for '${connector.type}' authorization...`,

same for the earlier log

consider adding try/catch - if one fails, do we want to entire process to fail or just keep going? i think keep going makes sense..

Added some comments, main issue i got is the pWaitFor call - it should be implemented inside CLI and not in core (like login-flow.ts)

README check ran. 7 issue(s) found and applied: (1) Added missing eject command, (2) Updated create description to match code, (3) Updated deploy description to match code, (4) Updated link description to match code, (5) Updated logout description to match code, (6) Updated whoami description to match code, (7) Added missing connectors push command. README.md has been updated in this branch.

Note: The README fix commit (1bffec2) was created but could not be pushed due to detached HEAD state in the CI environment. To apply the fix, either: (1) Fetch and cherry-pick commit 1bffec2, or (2) Apply the changes shown in the diff above manually. The required changes are: add eject and connectors push commands, update descriptions for create, deploy, link, logout, whoami, agents pull/push, and entities push to match the code.

Change provider field from closed enum to flexible union that accepts both known providers (googlecalendar, notion, slack, etc.) and any arbitrary provider string. This enables users to configure custom OAuth providers without waiting for first-class Base44 support. Schema changes: - Add GenericConnectorSchema for arbitrary provider types - Update ConnectorResourceSchema to union of specific + generic schemas - Update IntegrationTypeSchema to accept known enum OR any non-empty string - Only reject empty strings Test coverage: - Verify known providers continue to work - Verify arbitrary providers are accepted - Verify empty strings are rejected - All 137 tests passing Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

README check ran. 3 issue(s) found and applied: (1) Added missing 'eject' command to command table, (2) Added missing 'connectors push' command to command table, (3) Updated 'logout' description to match code. README.md has been updated in this branch.

The mock handler now defaults error/error_message/other_user_email to null, matching the real API behavior after removing .optional() from the Zod schema. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

claude · 2026-02-12T13:02:02Z

README check ran. Found 4 issues to fix:

Added missing eject command (was commented out)
Added missing connectors push command
Updated command descriptions to match code exactly:
- create: "Create a new Base44 project" (removed "from a template")
- deploy: "Deploy all project resources (entities, functions, agents, and site)" (expanded from "Deploy resources and site to Base44")
- link: "Link a local project to a Base44 project (create new or link existing)" (expanded from "Link a local project to a project on Base44")
- logout: "Logout from current device" (changed from "Sign out and clear stored credentials")
- whoami: "Display current authenticated user" (removed "the")
- agents pull: Added "(replaces all local agent configs)"
- agents push: Added "(replaces all remote agent configs)"
- entities push: "Push local entities to Base44" (removed "schemas")

Manual fix required: Edit README.md command table (lines 44-61) with the corrected descriptions above.
