Usage

import KcAdminClient from '@keycloak/keycloak-admin-client';

// To configure the client, pass an object to override any of these  options:
// {
//   baseUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',
//   realmName: 'master',
//   requestOptions: {
//     /* Fetch request options https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/fetch#options */
//   },
// }
const kcAdminClient = new KcAdminClient();

// Authorize with username / password
await kcAdminClient.auth({
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'admin',
  grantType: 'password',
  clientId: 'admin-cli',
  totp: '123456', // optional Time-based One-time Password if OTP is required in authentication flow
});

// List first page of users
const users = await kcAdminClient.users.find({ first: 0, max: 10 });

// find users by attributes
const users = await kcAdminClient.users.find({ q: "phone:123" });

// Override client configuration for all further requests:
kcAdminClient.setConfig({
  realmName: 'another-realm',
});

// This operation will now be performed in 'another-realm' if the user has access.
const groups = await kcAdminClient.groups.find();

// Set a `realm` property to override the realm for only a single operation.
// For example, creating a user in another realm:
await kcAdminClient.users.create({
  realm: 'a-third-realm',
  username: 'username',
  email: '[e-mail]',
});

To refresh the access token provided by Keycloak, an OpenID client like panva/node-openid-client can be used like this:

import {Issuer} from 'openid-client';

const keycloakIssuer = await Issuer.discover(
  'http://localhost:8080/realms/master',
);

const client = new keycloakIssuer.Client({
  client_id: 'admin-cli', // Same as `clientId` passed to client.auth()
  token_endpoint_auth_method: 'none', // to send only client_id in the header
});

// Use the grant type 'password'
let tokenSet = await client.grant({
  grant_type: 'password',
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'admin',
});

// Periodically using refresh_token grant flow to get new access token here
setInterval(async () => {
  const refreshToken = tokenSet.refresh_token;
  tokenSet = await client.refresh(refreshToken);
  kcAdminClient.setAccessToken(tokenSet.access_token);
}, 58 * 1000); // 58 seconds

In cases where you don't have a refresh token, eg. in a client credentials flow, you can simply call kcAdminClient.auth to get a new access token, like this:

const credentials = {
  grantType: 'client_credentials',
  clientId: 'clientId',
  clientSecret: 'some-client-secret-uuid',
};
await kcAdminClient.auth(credentials);

setInterval(() => kcAdminClient.auth(credentials), 58 * 1000); // 58 seconds

Building and running the tests

To build the source do a build:

pnpm build

Start the Keycloak server:

pnpm server:start

If you started your container manually make sure there is an admin user named 'admin' with password 'admin'. Then start the tests with:

pnpm test

Similar packages

Other packages similar to @keycloak/keycloak-admin-client

keycloak-admin

The 'keycloak-admin' package is another client for interacting with the Keycloak Admin REST API. It provides similar functionalities for managing users, groups, roles, and clients. However, it may have different API methods and usage patterns compared to @keycloak/keycloak-admin-client.

keycloak-nodejs-admin-client

The 'keycloak-nodejs-admin-client' package is a Node.js client for the Keycloak Admin REST API. It offers similar capabilities for managing Keycloak resources. The main difference lies in the implementation details and the API design, which might be more or less convenient depending on the developer's preferences.
