resolve-auth
Advanced tools
Provides an authentication mechanism using Passport authentication strategy.
First of all, create file with your strategy and add auth
section into config.app.json
for your application (see hacker-news
example).
Next, choose a type of authentication strategy (see passport-local or [passport-google-oauth](https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-google-oauth for example) ) and define options of it.
Create your strategy in strategyConstructor
function using options
.
Return an array of tuples { strategy, options }
for every used route in your app.
Here is the simple example of local
strategy, but you can use any other Passport strategy similarly.
import { Strategy } from 'passport-local'
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken'
import jwtSecret from './jwtSecret'
const options = routes.map(({ path, method, callback }) => ({
strategy: {
usernameField: 'username',
passwordField: 'username',
successRedirect: null
},
route: {
path: '/register',
method: 'POST'
},
callback: async (_, username) =>
jwt.sign( // here fake use is created
{ // for user storing into db see HakerNews example
name: username // https://github.com/reimagined/resolve/tree/master/examples/hacker-news
},
jwtSecret
)
}))
const strategyConstructor = options =>
new Strategy(
{
...options.strategy,
passReqToCallback: true
},
async (req, username, password, done) => {
try {
done(null, await options.callback(req, username, password))
} catch (error) {
done(error)
}
}
)
export default [{ options, strategyConstructor }]
