Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@storyblok/app-extension-auth

A JavaScript library for managing authentication for Storyblok apps.

Migrating v1 to v2

The @storyblok/app-extension-auth v1 stored the access token in a cookie. However, in a future version of v2, the library will offer an adapter pattern, allowing you to store the access token elsewhere, such as in a dedicated database. The following breaking changes abstract the code to make this transition easier in the near future:

sessionCookieStoregetSessionStore

// from
import { sessionCookieStore } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

// to
import { getSessionStore } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

getSessionStore

const sessionStore = getSessionStore(authHandlerParams)({
  req: event.node.req,
  res: event.node.res,
})

The sessionStore created by sessionCookieStore now has three methods: get, put, and remove. The getAll method is no longer provided. If you believe the getAll method is still useful for your use case, please let us know by opening a GitHub issue.

The put and remove methods now return a Promise<boolean> instead of a Promise<void>.

AuthHandlerParams

import { authHandler } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'
const params: AuthHandlerParams = {
  // ...
}
authHandler(params)

The parameter AuthHandlerParams['cookieName'] has been renamed to AuthHandlerParams['sessionKey'].

Getting Started

See our starters:

Install the app

Install with npm:

npm install @storyblok/app-extension-auth

or with Yarn:

yarn add @storyblok/app-extension-auth

Set a URL

Decide a URL for your app. As a first step, this should be a URL for local development. For this you will need a secure tunnel, for example ngrok.

To open a secure tunnel with ngrok, run:

ngrok http 3000

Set up an App in Storyblok's Partner Portal

Create an App in Storyblok's Partner Portal. Then open app's settings, navigate to Oauth 2, and configure the following values:

  • URL to your app: the index page of your app. For example, https://my-app.com/.

  • OAuth2 callback URL: the api endpoint that will initiate the OAuth flow.

    • Calculated as: {baseUrl}/{endpointPrefix}/storyblok/callback
    • Example value: https://my-app.com/api/connect/storyblok/callback

Substitute {baseUrl} and {endpointPrefix} for your own values. These parameters will be referenced again in your code; see the next section.

Define constants

In your source code, create the following object (you will need it later):

import { AuthHandlerParams } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

export const params: AuthHandlerParams = {
  clientId: process.env.APP_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.APP_CLIENT_SECRET,
  baseUrl: process.env.APP_URL,
  successCallback: '/',
  errorCallback: '/401',
  endpointPrefix: '/api/connect',
}

Some variables should be loaded via environmental variables (.env.local):

  • clientId -- The client ID is a public identifier for your apps. Find the Client ID in the app settings on Storyblok.

  • clientSecret -- The client secret is a secret known only to the application and the authorization server. Find the client secret in the app settings on Storyblok. Load it into the application as an environmental variable. It must be kept confidential.

  • baseUrl -- The base URL specifies the base URL to use for all relative authentication API endpoints created by authHandler(). The base URL must be absolute and secure with https.

    For example, the base URL https://my-app.my-domain.com/ will create the following api endpoints:

    • https://my-app.my-domain.com/storyblok for initiating the authentication flow
    • https://my-app.my-domain.com/storyblok/callback as the OAuth2 callback URL

The other variables can be hard-coded:

  • successCallback -- Specifies the URL that the user agent will be redirected to after a successful authentication flow. Defaults to "/".

  • errorCallback -- Specifies the URL that the user agent will be redirected to after an unsuccessful authentication flow. If omitted, the user agent will receive a 401 response without redirect.

  • endpointPrefix -- Specifies the partial URL that is located between the baseUrl and the authentication API endpoints.

    For example, the following two properties

    • baseUrl: "https://my-app.my-domain.com/"
    • endpointPrefix: "api/authenticate"

    will result in the API endpoints

    • https://my-app.my-domain.com/api/authenticate/storyblok for initiating the authentication flow
    • https://my-app.my-domain.com/api/authenticate/storyblok/callback as the OAuth2 callback URL

Create an API route

In NodeJS, create a dynamic route that handles the incoming requests with authHandler(). See Framework examples.

For example, in Next.js, create a file pages/api/connect/[...slugs].ts:

import { authHandler } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

export default authHandler(params)

Sign in

Sign in a user by redirecting to the api route: /api/connect/storyblok

This will initiate the oauth flow and redirect the user to the url specified in the successCallback URL. The following query parameters will be appended to the successCallback URL:

  • userId
  • spaceId

Retrieve the session

Now, use these two query parameters to retrieve the session object:

import { sessionCookieStore } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

const sessionStore = sessionCookieStore(params)(context)
const appSession = await sessionStore.get(query)

if (appSession === undefined) {
  // The user is not authenticated
  //  redirect to /api/connect/storyblok
}

Use the session

The AppSession object contain user information for personalized content, and an access token to the Storyblok management API.

const { userId, spaceId, region, roles, accessToken } = appSession

Routing

Storyblok apps are embedded within Storyblok via iframes. When a page is requested, the server must get to know

  1. spaceId: the space the page is being embedded within
  2. userId: the user who loaded the page

These two values needs to be encoded within the page request.

If these two values cannot be retrieved, you need to initiate the OAuth flow by redirecting the user agent to /api/connect/storyblok. After a successful authentication, the spaceId and userId will be added as query parameters to the successCallback value. Now, it should be possible to retrieve the session like so

import { sessionCookieStore } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

const sessionStore = sessionCookieStore(params)(context)
const appSession = await sessionStore.get(query)

When you redirect the user agent to a new page within your application, you need to append the spaceId and userId query parameters. Only if you do this can you retrieve the session from the sessionCookieStore from the other route.

const href = `/my/other/page?spaceId=${spaceId}&userId=${userId}`

Routing for various frameworks

Next.js

In Next.js, create a file pages/api/connect/[...slugs].ts

import { authHandler } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

export default authHandler(params)

Express

In ExpressJs, create a route

import { authHandler } from '@storyblok/app-extension-auth'

app.all('/api/connect/*', authHandler(params))
