@axa-fr/auth-worker v1.0.1

Auth-worker

Auth-worker provides a service worker to easily manage Oidc authentication.

After the setup and depending on the fetch request, the token will be automatically added in the header.

Prerequisite

• Identity Provider
• Client ID
• Scope

Usage

:warning: Not on npm right now...

npm install @axa-fr/auth-worker

The usage is quite simple. Two methods are needed :

• start
• callback

A file containing the service worker is copied in your public folder during the npm install. If it fails, you can use npx auth-worker init ${path} to build and copy the worker where you want.

Start

The start method takes two parameters : the oidc configuration and the optionnal worker configuration.

The oidc configuration is based on a javascript map. The key is the list of all the domain that have to be intercepted by the worker, the value is the oidc configuration :

• openIdConnectProvider
• clientId
• callbackRedirectUri
• scope

const map = new Map();
map.set(['https://my.app/api'], {
    openIdConnectProvider: 'https://accounts.google.com',
    clientId: '123456789',
    callbackRedirectUri: 'https://my.app/callback',
    scope: 'scope',
});
await start(map, {
    swPath: '/oidcsw.js',
    customUI: {
        callbackComponent: '',
        loadingComponent: '',
    },
});

The worker configuration is optional. You can override some parameters like the path of the worker, and the webcomponent that have to be display during the logging process.

Callback

The callback method have to be called on the page targeted by callbackRedirectUri parameter

callback();

Implementation

You can look at the /dev folder for a simple usecase.

React

This is an example for an usage in a React project

App.js

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import { UserContext, useUser } from 'services/user';
import { conf } from 'services/environments';
import { start } from 'auth-worker';
import AuthenticationCallback from 'pages/AuthenticationCallback';

import AppContent from './AppContent';

const App = () => {
    const [isLogged, setIsLogged] = useState(false);
    const valueUseUser = useUser();

    useEffect(async () => {
        (async () => {
            const map = new Map();
            map.set([conf.apiUrl, conf.referentielMachineUrl], {
                openIdConnectProvider: conf.oidc.openIdConnectProvider,
                clientId: conf.oidc.clientId,
                callbackRedirectUri: conf.oidc.callbackRedirectUri,
                scope: conf.oidc.scope,
            });
            await start(map, {
                swPath: '/oidcsw.js',
                customUI: {
                    callbackComponent: '',
                    loadingComponent: '',
                },
            });

            setIsLogged(true);
        })();
    }, []);

    return (
        <Router>
            <Route
                component={AuthenticationCallback}
                exact
                path={`${conf.baseUrl}/${conf.oidc.callbackUrl}`}
            />
            {isLogged ? (
                <UserContext.Provider value={valueUseUser}>
                    <AppContent />
                </UserContext.Provider>
            ) : null}
        </Router>
    );
};

export default App;

You can retrieve the user informations in the AppContent for example, this information can be stored in the contexte provided by the UserContext.

pages/AuthenticationCallback.js

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { callback } from 'auth-worker';

const AuthenticationCallback = () => {
    useEffect(() => {
        callback();
    }, []);

    return <h1>Callback</h1>;
};

export default AuthenticationCallback;

TODO

• Easier setup for start (No map parameter on entry)
• Support for custom (non oidc) provider
• Add popular framework wrapper
• Safari support ( dropping Broadcast Channel )
