Advanced tools
A plugin that enables Amazon Cognito based authentication in @webiny/handler
handlers.
npm install --save @webiny/api-security @webiny/api-security-cognito
Or if you prefer yarn:
yarn add @webiny/api-security @webiny/api-security-cognito
The set up process consists only of a single step, and that's adding the plugins in your handler:
import { createHandler } from "@webiny/handler-aws";
import graphqlPlugins from "@webiny/handler-graphql";
import logsPlugins from "@webiny/handler-logs";
import securityPlugins, { SecurityIdentity } from "@webiny/api-security";
import cognitoAuthenticationPlugins from "@webiny/api-security-cognito";
// Imports plugins created via scaffolding utilities.
import scaffoldsPlugins from "./plugins/scaffolds";
const debug = process.env.DEBUG === "true";
export const handler = createHandler({
plugins: [
securityPlugins(),
cognitoAuthenticationPlugins({
region: process.env.COGNITO_REGION,
userPoolId: process.env.COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
identityType: "user"
}),
logsPlugins(),
graphqlPlugins({ debug }),
scaffoldsPlugins()
],
debug
});
With all the plugins in place, you should be able to retrieve the current identity in your handler application code, via the context.security
object:
const identity = context.security.getIdentity();
