Authentic-ui NPM

Authentic UI

Authentic UI is a set of client side views that use authentic-client to provide an easy signup and authentication flow.

Each method will return a DOM element for you to include wherever you need it.

Examples

var qs = require('querystring')
var AuthenticUI = require('authentic-ui')

var aui = AuthenticUI({
  server: 'http://authenticserver.com',
  links: {
    signup: '#/signup',
    login: '#/login',
    changePasswordRequest: '#/change-password-request'
  }
})

// Log In
document.body.appendChild(
  aui.login(function (err, result) {
    // logged in, now redirect to main content
    window.location.hash = '/main-content'
  })
)

// Sign Up
document.body.appendChild(
  aui.signup({
    from: 'Example Signup <example@signup.com>',
    subject: 'Welcome!',
    confirmUrl: window.location.origin + '#/confirm'
  })
)

// Confirm
var query = qs.parse(window.location.search.slice(1))
document.body.appendChild(
  aui.confirm({
    email: query.email,
    confirmToken: query.confirmToken
  }, function onLogin (err, result) {
    // logged in, now redirect to main content
    window.location.hash = '/main-content'
  })
)

// Change Password Request
document.body.appendChild(
  aui.changePasswordRequest({
    from: 'Example ChangePassword <example@signup.com>',
    subject: 'Change Your Password!',
    changeUrl: window.location.origin + '#/change-password'
  })
)

// Change Password
var query = qs.parse(window.location.search.slice(1))
document.body.appendChild(
  aui.changePassword({
    email: query.email,
    changeToken: query.changeToken
  }, function onLogin (err, result) {
    // password changed and logged in, now redirect to main content
    window.location.hash = '/main-content'
  })
)

// Log Out
aui.logout() // instant

API

AuthenticUI(opts)

This is the main entry point. Accepts an options object and returns an instance.

var aui = AuthenticUI({
  server: 'http://authenticserver.com',
  links: {
    signup: '#/signup',
    login: '#/login',
    changePasswordRequest: '#/change-password-request'
  },
  googleSignIn: false
})

// now you can do aui.signup()/login()/etc...

options

AuthenticUI() takes an options object as its argument, only server is required:

server: the url of the authentic-server, e.g. 'http://auth.yourdomain.com'

Optional:

prefix: defaults to /auth -- if you set a custom prefix for your authentic-server, use that same prefix here
titles: AuthenticUI can display custom titles for signup, login, and change-password.
- If omitted, defaults will be used (Log in to your account, etc...).

{
  signup: 'Sign up now!',
  login: 'Log in here 👇',
  changePasswordRequest: 'Let\'s get you a new password'
}

links: AuthenticUI can display links to signup, login, and change-password.
- If omitted, defaults will be used (#/login, #/signup, etc...).
- To hide these links use {links: false}.
- If you'd like to customize them, use an object like one of the following:

{
  signup: '#/signup', // text will be "Sign Up"
  login: '#/login', // text will be "Log In"
  changePasswordRequest: '#/change-password-request' // text will be "Reset Password"
}

// or

{
  signup: {href: '#/new-account', text: 'New Account'},
  login: {href: '#/sign-in', text: 'Sign In'},
  changePasswordRequest: {href: '#/forgot', text: 'Forgot something?'}
}

styles: If styles is omitted, default styling will be used. To clear styling use {styles: false}, and to use custom CSS class name(s), use an object that maps components to a string of class names. For example, if you were using Basscss, you could do the following:

{
  box: 'max-width-3 mx-auto border rounded pb2',
  title: 'h3 p2 bold white bg-blue mb2',
  input: 'h4 p1 mb1',
  error: 'red',
  submit: 'btn not-rounded bg-blue white m2',
  disabled: 'bg-silver',
  links: 'p6',
  link: 'italic'
}

See /components/shared/styles.js for the components and their default styles.

googleSignIn: If googleSignIn is true, this will add a "Sign in with Google" link to the bottom of the Log In page. Your authentic-server needs to have this set up to work.
