@iwelt/nuxt-keycloak v1.0.0

Keycloak Nuxt Module

This module exposes a wrapper around the official Keycloak Javascript adapter to make it work together with Nuxt (3).

Installing the Plugin

In your nuxt.config.ts, import the plugin like this (merge this snippet into your existing code):

import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt/config'
import Keycloak from '@iwelt/nuxt-keycloak'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    Keycloak
  ],
  
  keycloak: {
    url: 'https://accounts.example.com',
    realm: 'example',
    clientId: 'webapp'
  }
})

Configuring

The keycloak config options takes the following options:

• url (string, required) — Full URL of the Keycloak instance, including the /auth path (if present).
• realm (string, required) — Name of the Keycloak realm.
• clientId (string, required) — Client ID to use. This must be a client with the Access Type option set to public.
• initOptions (object) — These options will be passed to the init() method of the Keycloak adapter. As an example, you can use this to set the OpenID scope option.

Usage

The useKeycloak composable is the main entry point to the plugin. When it is called the first time, it will start the Keycloak initialization sequence. It returns the following properties:

• keycloak (Keycloak) — The instance of the Keycloak Javascript adapter. This will be null during SSR.
• userProfile 🤖 — Vue ref containing the user's profile information.
• userProfile 🤖 — Vue ref containing the OIDC user info object.
• userProfile 🤖 — Vue ref containing information about the user's authorization (the scopes they have access to).
• userProfile (Ref<string>) — Vue ref containing the token that can be used to authenticate API requests on the user's behalf.
• updateToken (() ⇒ void) — Call this to manually refresh the token.
• login 🤖 — Call this to start the login flow.
• logout 🤖 — Call this to start the logout flow.

See the linked source file for the actual TypeScript typings for those properties marked "🤖".

Persistence

The refresh token is automatically persisted into local storage. It will be used on page refresh to re-authenticate the user.
