@loopback/authentication NPM

@loopback/authentication

A LoopBack 4 component for authentication support. Its corresponding documentation is in LoopBack component authentication

Overview

AuthenticationComponent

This component contains the core logic for the authentication layer in LoopBack 4.

It contains:

A decorator to express an authentication requirement on controller methods
A provider to access method-level authentication metadata
An action in the REST sequence to enforce authentication (No longer needed for middleware based sequence)
An extension point to discover all authentication strategies and handle the delegation

Installation

npm install --save @loopback/authentication

Basic Use

Load the AuthenticationComponent into your application.

Extension developers need to:

create custom authentication strategies

Application Developers need to:

decorate controller functions with the authentication decorator
add the authentication action to a custom sequence and bind the custom sequence to the application (No longer needed for middleware based sequence)
register the authentication strategies

Create and register a passport based strategy

For some background on our design decisions, please read Multiple Authentication strategies.

Note

Starting from version @loobpack/authentication@3.0.0, UserProfile needs to be imported from @loopback/security and it's not backward compatible with the one exported from @loobpack/authentication@2.x. Make sure you follow the new tutorial to build the authentication system.
