@openfga/sdk
Advanced tools
This is an autogenerated JavaScript SDK for OpenFGA. It provides a wrapper around the OpenFGA API definition, and includes TS typings.
OpenFGA is an open source Fine-Grained Authorization solution inspired by Google's Zanzibar paper. It was created by the FGA team at Auth0 based on Auth0 Fine-Grained Authorization (FGA), available under a permissive license (Apache-2) and welcomes community contributions.
OpenFGA is designed to make it easy for application builders to model their permission layer, and to add and integrate fine-grained authorization into their applications. OpenFGA’s design is optimized for reliability and low latency at a high scale.
Using npm:
npm install @openfga/sdk
Using yarn:
yarn add @openfga/sdk
Learn how to initialize your SDK
We strongly recommend you initialize the OpenFgaClient only once and then re-use it throughout your app, otherwise you will incur the cost of having to re-initialize multiple times or at every request, the cost of reduced connection pooling and re-use, and would be particularly costly in the client credentials flow, as that flow will be preformed on every request.
The
OpenFgaClientwill by default retry API requests up to 15 times on 429 and 5xx errors.
const { OpenFgaClient } = require('@openfga/sdk'); // OR import { OpenFgaClient } from '@openfga/sdk';
const fgaClient = new OpenFgaClient({
apiUrl: process.env.FGA_API_URL, // required
storeId: process.env.FGA_STORE_ID, // not needed when calling `CreateStore` or `ListStores`
authorizationModelId: process.env.FGA_AUTHORIZATION_MODEL_ID, // Optional, can be overridden per request
});
const { OpenFgaClient } = require('@openfga/sdk'); // OR import { OpenFgaClient } from '@openfga/sdk';
const fgaClient = new OpenFgaClient({
apiUrl: process.env.FGA_API_URL, // required
storeId: process.env.FGA_STORE_ID, // not needed when calling `CreateStore` or `ListStores`
authorizationModelId: process.env.FGA_AUTHORIZATION_MODEL_ID, // Optional, can be overridden per request
credentials: {
method: CredentialsMethod.ApiToken,
config: {
token: process.env.FGA_API_TOKEN, // will be passed as the "Authorization: Bearer ${ApiToken}" request header
}
}
});
const { OpenFgaClient } = require('@openfga/sdk'); // OR import { OpenFgaClient } from '@openfga/sdk';
const fgaClient = new OpenFgaClient({
apiUrl: process.env.FGA_API_URL, // required
storeId: process.env.FGA_STORE_ID, // not needed when calling `CreateStore` or `ListStores`
authorizationModelId: process.env.FGA_AUTHORIZATION_MODEL_ID, // Optional, can be overridden per request
credentials: {
method: CredentialsMethod.ClientCredentials,
config: {
apiTokenIssuer: process.env.FGA_API_TOKEN_ISSUER,
apiAudience: process.env.FGA_API_AUDIENCE,
clientId: process.env.FGA_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.FGA_CLIENT_SECRET,
}
}
});
You need your store id to call the OpenFGA API (unless it is to call the CreateStore or ListStores methods).
If your server is configured with authentication enabled, you also need to have your credentials ready.
Note regarding casing in the OpenFgaClient: All input parameters are in
camelCase, all response parameters will match the API and are insnake_case.
Note: The Client interface might see several changes over the next few months as we get more feedback before it stabilizes.
Get a paginated list of stores.
const options = { pageSize: 10, continuationToken: "..." };
const { stores } = await fgaClient.listStores(options);
// stores = [{ "id": "01FQH7V8BEG3GPQW93KTRFR8JB", "name": "FGA Demo Store", "created_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", "updated_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" }]
Initialize a store.
const { id: storeId } = await fgaClient.createStore({
name: "FGA Demo Store",
});
// storeId = "01FQH7V8BEG3GPQW93KTRFR8JB"
Get information about the current store.
const store = await fgaClient.getStore();
// store = { "id": "01FQH7V8BEG3GPQW93KTRFR8JB", "name": "FGA Demo Store", "created_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", "updated_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" }
Delete a store.
await fgaClient.deleteStore();
Read all authorization models in the store.
Requires a client initialized with a storeId
const options = { pageSize: 10, continuationToken: "..." };
const { authorization_models: authorizationModels } = await fgaClient.readAuthorizationModels(options);
/*
authorizationModels = [
{ id: "01GXSA8YR785C4FYS3C0RTG7B1", schema_version: "1.1", type_definitions: [...] },
{ id: "01GXSBM5PVYHCJNRNKXMB4QZTW", schema_version: "1.1", type_definitions: [...] }];
*/
Create a new authorization model.
Note: To learn how to build your authorization model, check the Docs at https://openfga.dev/docs.
Learn more about the OpenFGA configuration language.
You can use the OpenFGA Syntax Transformer to convert between the friendly DSL and the JSON authorization model.
const { authorization_model_id: id } = await fgaClient.writeAuthorizationModel({
schema_version: "1.1",
type_definitions: [{
type: "user",
}, {
type: "document",
relations: {
"writer": { "this": {} },
"viewer": {
"union": {
"child": [
{ "this": {} },
{ "computedUserset": {
"object": "",
"relation": "writer" }
}
]
}
}
} }],
});
// id = "01GXSA8YR785C4FYS3C0RTG7B1"
Read a particular authorization model.
const options = {};
// To override the authorization model id for this request
options.authorizationModelId = "01GXSA8YR785C4FYS3C0RTG7B1";
const { authorization_model: authorizationModel } = await fgaClient.readAuthorizationModel(options);
// authorizationModel = { id: "01GXSA8YR785C4FYS3C0RTG7B1", schema_version: "1.1", type_definitions: [...] }
Reads the latest authorization model (note: this ignores the model id in configuration).
const { authorization_model: authorizationModel } = await fgaClient.readLatestAuthorizationModel();
// authorizationModel = { id: "01GXSA8YR785C4FYS3C0RTG7B1", schema_version: "1.1", type_definitions: [...] }
Reads the list of historical relationship tuple writes and deletes.
const type = 'document';
const options = {
pageSize: 25,
continuationToken: 'eyJwayI6IkxBVEVTVF9OU0NPTkZJR19hdXRoMHN0b3JlIiwic2siOiIxem1qbXF3MWZLZExTcUoyN01MdTdqTjh0cWgifQ==',

// response.changes = [
// { tuple_key: { user, relation, object }, operation: "writer", timestamp: ... },
// { tuple_key: { user, relation, object }, operation: "viewer", timestamp: ... }
// ]
Reads the relationship tuples stored in the database. It does not evaluate nor exclude invalid tuples according to the authorization model.
// Find if a relationship tuple stating that a certain user is a viewer of a certain document
const body = {
user: "user:81684243-9356-4421-8fbf-a4f8d36aa31b",

// In all the above situations, the response will be of the form:
// tuples = [{ key: { user, relation, object }, timestamp: ... }]
Create and/or delete relationship tuples to update the system state.
By default, write runs in a transaction mode where any invalid operation (deleting a non-existing tuple, creating an existing tuple, one of the tuples was invalid) or a server error will fail the entire operation.
const options = {};
// To override the authorization model id for this request
options.authorizationModelId = "01GXSA8YR785C4FYS3C0RTG7B1";

// if any error is encountered in the transaction mode, an error will be thrown
The SDK will split the writes into separate requests and send them in parallel chunks (default = 1 item per chunk, each chunk is a transaction).
// if you'd like to disable the transaction mode for writes (requests will be sent in parallel writes)
options.transaction = {
disable: true,
maxPerChunk: 1, // defaults to 1 - each chunk is a transaction (even in non-transaction mode)
