@storyblok/nuxt-auth

@storyblok/nuxt-auth

Storyblok's authentification module for the Nuxt.js

Requirements

You can create a custom Storyblok app only if you are part of the partner program.

Setup

• Add @storyblok/nuxt-auth dependency using yarn or npm to your project
• Add @storyblok/nuxt-auth to modules section of nuxt.config.js

{
  modules: [
    [
      '@storyblok/nuxt-auth',
      {
        id: 'Client ID from Storyblok App',
        secret: 'Secret from Storyblok App',
        redirect_uri: 'REDIRECT_URI' // Equal to callbakc URL of Oauth2 from Storyblok App
      }
    ],
 ]
}

Recommended Setup

• install dotenv module and create .env file in root of your project
• keep all the confidential informations in .env file
• load confidental information in nuxt.config.js using dotenv package

require('dotenv').config()

export default {
  // ...
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/dotenv',
    [
      '@storyblok/nuxt-auth',
      {
        id: process.env.CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_ID,
        secret: process.env.CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_SECRET,
        redirect_uri: process.env.CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URI
      }
    ]
  ]
  // ...
}

// .env file
CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_ID="Id from Storyblok App"
CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_SECRET="Secret from Storyblok App"
CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URI="callback url of your app"

Module options

The module options can receive the following fields:

id (required)

The client id from Storyblok App

secret (required)

The secret id from Storyblok App

redirect_url (required)

Callback URL to your app

return_url (optional)

• default: '/'

The entry point to your application. It is a page that will be receive the space_id information as router query parameters. See the "Defining a new entry point" section for more details

Usage

The module registers auth middleware in your Nuxt.js project and router for the StoryblokClient. After that you can use axios in your vue files to get data from Storyblok using the Management API.

Using Management API

To use Storyblok Management API, all paths in axios was prefixed with /auth/. If you want to get all stories from space ide 606, you would call with management API spaces/606/stories/ here you call /auth/spaces/606/stories/.

For example, to get all stories from specific space:

import axios from 'axios'

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      stories: [],
      perPage: null,
      total: null
    }
  },
  mounted() {
    if (window.top == window.self) {
      // when your app is authenticated,
      // this URL will be redirect to <YOUR_APP_URL>/space_id?<AUTHORIZED_SPACE>
      window.location.assign('https://app.storyblok.com/oauth/app_redirect')
    } else {
      // however, once authenticated and inside of Storyblok Space APP,
      // you're able to use axios to make the necessary requests
      // for example, get the stories from the authenticated space
      this.loadStories()
    }
  },
  methods: {
    loadStories() {
      // get the space id from URL and use it in requests
      axios.get(`/auth/spaces/${this.$route.query.space_id}/stories`)
        .then((res) => {
          // do what you want to do ;) 
          // this is only basic sample
          this.perPage = res.data.perPage
          this.total = res.data.total
          this.stories = res.data.stories
        })
      }
  }
}

Another example, to create a new story:

import axios from 'axios'

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      loading: false,
      story: {
        name: ''
      }
    }
  },
  methods: {
    createStory() {
      this.loading = true

      // The request body is the same from Management API
      // https://www.storyblok.com/docs/api/management#core-resources/stories/create-story
      const body = {
        story: { ...this.story }
      }

      // get the space id from URL and use it in requests
      return axios
        .post(`/auth/spaces/${this.$route.query.space_id}/stories`, body)
        .then((res) => {
          this.loading = false
        })
      }
  }
}

Get the authenticated user information

To get information about the authenticated user, you should make a GET request to /auth/user path.

Example:

import axios from 'axios'

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      user: {}
    }
  },
  mounted() {
    if (window.top == window.self) {
      window.location.assign('https://app.storyblok.com/oauth/app_redirect')
    } else {
      this.loadUserInformation()
    }
  },
  methods: {
    loadUserInformation() {
      axios.get(`/auth/user?space_id=${this.$route.query.space_id}`)
        .then((res) => {
          this.user = res.data || {}
        })
      }
  }
}

Defining a new entry point

Change this setting if you want to have a different entry point than the default one '/'. Example:

// ...
  '@storyblok/nuxt-auth',
  {
    id: process.env.CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_ID,
    secret: process.env.CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_SECRET,
    redirect_uri: process.env.CONFIDENTIAL_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URI,
    return_url: '/auth'
  }
// ...

With this configuration you can create a file for the /auth route and handle the logic there. You will find the query parameter space_id in $router.query which needs to be used for the api calls:

<template>
  <div>
    <h1> The space id is {{ space_id }} </h1>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'AuthExamplePage',
  data: () => ({
    space_id: null
  }),
  mounted () {
    // get the space_id from $router.query object
    this.space_id = this.$route.query.space_id
  }
}
</script>
