koa-passport

What is koa-passport?

koa-passport is a Koa middleware that integrates Passport.js for authentication. It allows you to use various authentication strategies, manage user sessions, and protect routes in a Koa application.

What are koa-passport's main functionalities?

Authentication Strategy

This code demonstrates how to set up a local authentication strategy using koa-passport. It includes initializing the Koa app, setting up the LocalStrategy, and defining a login route.

const Koa = require('koa');
const Router = require('koa-router');
const bodyParser = require('koa-bodyparser');
const passport = require('koa-passport');
const LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;

const app = new Koa();
const router = new Router();

passport.use(new LocalStrategy((username, password, done) => {
  // Replace with your own logic
  if (username === 'user' && password === 'pass') {
    return done(null, { id: 1, username: 'user' });
  } else {
    return done(null, false);
  }
}));

app.use(bodyParser());
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

router.post('/login', passport.authenticate('local', {
  successRedirect: '/success',
  failureRedirect: '/login'
}));

app.use(router.routes());
app.listen(3000);

Session Management

This code demonstrates how to set up session management with koa-passport. It includes initializing session middleware and defining serializeUser and deserializeUser functions.

const session = require('koa-session');

app.keys = ['your-session-secret'];
app.use(session({}, app));

passport.serializeUser((user, done) => {
  done(null, user.id);
});

passport.deserializeUser((id, done) => {
  // Replace with your own logic
  done(null, { id: 1, username: 'user' });
});

Protecting Routes

This code demonstrates how to protect routes using koa-passport. It includes defining a protected route that requires authentication.

router.get('/protected', passport.authenticate('local', { session: false }), (ctx) => {
  ctx.body = 'This is a protected route';
});

Other packages similar to koa-passport

passport

Passport.js is a popular authentication middleware for Node.js. It is framework-agnostic and can be used with Express, Koa, and other frameworks. Compared to koa-passport, Passport.js requires additional setup to integrate with Koa.

koa-auth

koa-auth is a Koa middleware for authentication. It provides a simpler API compared to koa-passport but may not support as many authentication strategies out of the box.

koa-jwt

koa-jwt is a Koa middleware for JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication. It is useful for stateless authentication and can be used in combination with other authentication strategies. Unlike koa-passport, it focuses solely on JWT.

Changelog

1.1.0

Make the req mock to inherit from Koa's request object before adding delegates for Node's request and Koa's context to it. This makes custom properties/methods added to Koa's request available to passport and its authentication strategies.
