auth-jwt
auth-jwt is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module for any SPA with built-in support for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Bitbucket, Yahoo, Twitch, Microsoft (Windows Live) OAuth providers, as well as Email and Password sign-in. However, you are not limited to the sign-in options above, in fact you can add any OAuth 1.0 or OAuth 2.0 provider by passing provider-specific information in the app config block.
While not a true fork, much has been copied from Satellizer.
- No Angular, so no dependency Injection
- Written without typescript, using syntax I'm most comfortable with
- Written with the build system I'm most comfrotable with
- Refactored classes to make a bit simpler to my way of thinking
- Consolidated RedirectURL and URL
- The redirectURL is expected to embed the token in the response body
- Must be on same domain as page orgin
- No plan yet for how to link accounts
- There is no compiled version of auth-jwt, make sure it is not excluded from your own app's build/minification
- Removed redundant methods
Useage
//Require and instantiate a jquery based RMI service to contact the origin host
var jqueryRMI = new require('auth-jwt/JqueryRMI')(jquery);
//Require and instantiate an Auth service, passing in the jqueryRMI instance
var authService = new require('auth-jwt')(jqueryRMI);
//Configure the 3rd party providers on the service as required
authService.providerOAuthConfigs['google'].clientId = 'GoogleClientId';
//After authenticating on the server, respond with the token embeded in the html
<html>
<body>
<!--This token is pre-created with 'John Doe' as the user in the payload for the static demo.
Normally a server would validate the authorization parameters and dynamically generate a JWT-->
<div id="token">eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJuYW1lIjoiSm9obiBEb2UifQ.xuEv8qrfXu424LZk8bVgr9MQJUIrp1rHcPyZw_KSsds</div>
</body>
</html>
//Listen to the Auth service for authentication changes
//Use authService.isAuthenticated() to control showing login button
//Get data embedded in the JWT from the server, for client side use authService.getPayload().name
