Awesome Auth

Awesome Auth is mainly used by static sites to give users functionalities like comment, like, validation, etc. It could be used with Awesome Comment, or alternative with Auth0.

We assume that you, as a static site owner, don't need a complex user system. The only thing you need is to know who is this current user, and allow them or disallow them to do something. You don't need to store sensitive data, just some useful information like game scores to make user more engaged.

So, here are something we will provide:

• Only SSO via Google Identity (other providers will be added soon)
• Serverless / Worker based backend API, only for validation
• No user data stored

Usage

1. Deploy the backend API
   1. Fork this repo
   2. Deploy /auth-admin on Serverless / Self-hosted servers
   3. Set up the environment variables
2. Integrate Awesome Auth into your site

   import { getInstance } from '@roudanio/awesome-auth';
     
   const auth = getInstance({
     googleId: 'YOUR-GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID',
     root: 'https://your-backend-api.com',
   });
   // register events to handle user state
   awesomeAuth.on(AwesomeAuthEvent.VERIFIED, handleVerified);
   awesomeAuth.on(AwesomeAuthEvent.VERIFYING, handleUnverified);

3. Add your own code for your own features

   // in your frontend code, attach access token to requests
   const token = auth.accessToken;
   fetch('https://your-backend-api.com/your-endpoint', {
     headers: {
       Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
     },
   });
     
   // in your backend API, validate the token by JWT.verify or with http request   
   const token = getHeader('Authorization');
   const user = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
   if (!user) {
     // not valid user, return 401 or something else
     return;
   }

Store or retrieve user data

After all setup, you can store or retrieve user data like this:

// store
auth.store(key, value);

// retrieve
auth.retrieve(key);

with Awesome Comment

Of course it's very simple to use Awesome Auth with Awesome Comment:

import { getInstance } from '@roudanio/awesome-auth';
   
const auth = getInstance({
  googleId: 'YOUR-GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID',
  root: 'https://your-backend-api.com',
});

AwesomeComment.init({
  awesomeAuth: auth,
  // other options
});
