• Compatible with Fastify platform.

Installation

Yarn

yarn add nest-keycloak-connect keycloak-connect

NPM

npm install nest-keycloak-connect keycloak-connect --save

Getting Started

Module registration

Registering the module:

KeycloakConnectModule.register({
  authServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8080', // might be http://localhost:8080/auth for older keycloak versions
  realm: 'master',
  clientId: 'my-nestjs-app',
  secret: 'secret',
  policyEnforcement: PolicyEnforcementMode.PERMISSIVE, // optional
  tokenValidation: TokenValidation.ONLINE, // optional
});

Async registration is also available:

KeycloakConnectModule.registerAsync({
  useExisting: KeycloakConfigService,
  imports: [ConfigModule],
});

KeycloakConfigService

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import {
  KeycloakConnectOptions,
  KeycloakConnectOptionsFactory,
  PolicyEnforcementMode,
  TokenValidation,
} from 'nest-keycloak-connect';

@Injectable()
export class KeycloakConfigService implements KeycloakConnectOptionsFactory {
  createKeycloakConnectOptions(): KeycloakConnectOptions {
    return {
      authServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8080', // might be http://localhost:8080/auth for older keycloak versions
      realm: 'master',
      clientId: 'my-nestjs-app',
      secret: 'secret',
      policyEnforcement: PolicyEnforcementMode.PERMISSIVE,
      tokenValidation: TokenValidation.ONLINE,
    };
  }
}

You can also register by just providing the keycloak.json path and an optional module configuration:

KeycloakConnectModule.register(`./keycloak.json`, {
  policyEnforcement: PolicyEnforcementMode.PERMISSIVE,
  tokenValidation: TokenValidation.ONLINE,
});

Guards

Register any of the guards either globally, or scoped in your controller.

Global registration using APP_GUARD token

NOTE: These are in order, see https://docs.nestjs.com/guards#binding-guards for more information.

providers: [
  {
    provide: APP_GUARD,
    useClass: AuthGuard,
  },
  {
    provide: APP_GUARD,
    useClass: ResourceGuard,
  },
  {
    provide: APP_GUARD,
    useClass: RoleGuard,
  },
];

Scoped registration

@Controller('cats')
@UseGuards(AuthGuard, ResourceGuard)
export class CatsController {}

What does these providers do ?

AuthGuard

Adds an authentication guard, you can also have it scoped if you like (using regular @UseGuards(AuthGuard) in your controllers). By default, it will throw a 401 unauthorized when it is unable to verify the JWT token or Bearer header is missing.

ResourceGuard

Adds a resource guard, which is permissive by default (can be configured see options). Only controllers annotated with @Resource and methods with @Scopes are handled by this guard.

NOTE: This guard is not necessary if you are using role-based authorization exclusively. You can use role guard exclusively for that.

RoleGuard

Adds a role guard, can only be used in conjunction with resource guard when enforcement policy is PERMISSIVE, unless you only use role guard exclusively. Permissive by default. Used by controller methods annotated with @Roles (matching can be configured)

Configuring controllers

In your controllers, simply do:

import {
  Resource,
  Roles,
  Scopes,
  Public,
  RoleMatchingMode,
} from 'nest-keycloak-connect';
import { Controller, Get, Delete, Put, Post, Param } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Product } from './product';
import { ProductService } from './product.service';

@Controller()
@Resource(Product.name)
export class ProductController {
  constructor(private service: ProductService) {}

  @Get()
  @Public()
  async findAll() {
    return await this.service.findAll();
  }

  @Get()
  @Roles({ roles: ['admin', 'other'] })
  async findAllBarcodes() {
    return await this.service.findAllBarcodes();
  }

  @Get(':code')
  @Scopes('View')
  async findByCode(@Param('code') code: string) {
    return await this.service.findByCode(code);
  }

  @Post()
  @Scopes('Create')
  async create(@Body() product: Product) {
    return await this.service.create(product);
  }

  @Delete(':code')
  @Scopes('Delete')
  @Roles({ roles: ['admin', 'realm:sysadmin'], mode: RoleMatchingMode.ALL })
  async deleteByCode(@Param('code') code: string) {
    return await this.service.deleteByCode(code);
  }

  @Put(':code')
  @Scopes('Edit')
  async update(@Param('code') code: string, @Body() product: Product) {
    return await this.service.update(code, product);
  }
}

Decorators

Here is the decorators you can use in your controllers.

Multi tenant configuration

Setting up for multi-tenant is configured as an option in your configuration:

{
  authServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8180/auth',
  clientId: 'nest-api',
  secret: 'fallback', // will be used as fallback when resolver returns null
  multiTenant: {
    realmResolver: (request) => {
      return request.get('host').split('.')[0];
    },
    realmSecretResolver: (realm, request) => {
      const secrets = { master: 'secret', slave: 'password' };
      return secrets[realm];
    },
    realmAuthServerUrlResolver: (realm, request) => {
      const authServerUrls = { master: 'https://master.local/auth', slave: 'https://slave.local/auth' };
      return authServerUrls[realm];
    }
  }
}
