Installation

npm install @authelion/api --save

Usage

Config

In general no configuration file is required at all! All options have either default values or are generated automatically 🔥.

To overwrite the default (generated) config property values, create a authelion.config.js file in the root directory with the following content:

module.exports = {
    env: process.NODE_ENV, // development, production, test
    port: 3010,

    adminUsername: 'admin',
    adminPassword: 'start123',
    
    // robotSecret: '', // 
    
    root: process.cwd(),
    writableDirectory: 'writable',

    selfUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:3010/',
    webUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/',

    tokenMaxAge: {
        accessToken: 3600, // 1 hour
        refreshToken: 36000 // 10 hours
    },
    
    swaggerDocumentation: true,
    
    redis: true,
}

Another way is e.g. to place an .env file in the root-directory or provide these properties by the system environment.

PORT=3010

ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
ADMIN_PASSWORD=start123

ROBOT_SECRET=xxx
PERMISSIONS=data_add,data_edit,...

SELF_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3010/
WEB_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3000/

WRITABLE_DIRECTORY=writable

REFRESH_TOKEN_MAX_AGE=3600
ACCESS_TOKEN_MAX_AGE=3600

SWAGGER_DOCUMENTATION=true

REDIS=true

Setup

If no option is specified, all options are by default true as long no other option is explicit specified. In the following shell snippet all options are manually set to true.

$ authelion setup \
  --keyPair=true \
  --database=true \
  --databaseSeeder=true \
  --documentation=true

The output should be similar, with other values for the Robot ID and Robot Secret:

✔ Generated rsa key-pair.
✔ Created database.
✔ Synchronized database schema.
✔ Seeded database.
ℹ Robot ID: 51dc4d96-f122-47a8-92f4-f0643dae9be5
ℹ Robot Secret: d1l33354crj1kyo58dbpflned2ocnw2yez69

Start

To start the application, simply execute the command:

$ authelion start

It will output the following information on startup:

ℹ Environment: development
ℹ WritableDirectory: writable

ℹ Docs-URL: http://127.0.0.1:3010/docs
