@aws-amplify/auth is a part of the AWS Amplify library that provides authentication functionalities for web and mobile applications. It allows developers to easily integrate authentication and authorization features into their applications using AWS Cognito.
Sign Up
This feature allows users to sign up for an account. The code sample demonstrates how to use the signUp method to create a new user with a username, password, and additional attributes like email and phone number.
const { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
Auth.signUp({
username: 'username',
password: 'password',
attributes: {
email: 'email@example.com',
phone_number: '+1234567890'
}
}).then(data => console.log(data)).catch(err => console.log(err));
Sign In
This feature allows users to sign in to their account. The code sample demonstrates how to use the signIn method to authenticate a user with a username and password.
const { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
Auth.signIn('username', 'password')
.then(user => console.log(user))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
Sign Out
This feature allows users to sign out of their account. The code sample demonstrates how to use the signOut method to log out the current user.
const { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
Auth.signOut()
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
Password Reset
This feature allows users to reset their password. The code sample demonstrates how to use the forgotPassword method to initiate a password reset and the forgotPasswordSubmit method to complete the password reset process.
const { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
Auth.forgotPassword('username')
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
Auth.forgotPasswordSubmit('username', 'code', 'new_password')
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
User Attributes
This feature allows users to update their attributes. The code sample demonstrates how to use the currentAuthenticatedUser method to get the current user and the updateUserAttributes method to update the user's attributes.
const { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser()
.then(user => {
return Auth.updateUserAttributes(user, {
'custom:attribute': 'value'
});
})
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
