angular-aap-auth

This library is deprecated. Please, use ng-ebi-authorization.

The angular-aap-auth is a simple authentication Angular library that relies on EBI's Authentication and Authorization Profile (AAP) infrastructure. After successful login, a JWT token is stored on the browser (via cookie, local or session storage).

Installation

To install this library, run:

npm install --save angular-aap-auth @auth0/angular-jwt

or

yarn add angular-aap-auth @auth0/angular-jwt

Compatibility table

Angular version	angular-aap-auth version
>=5 <6	<=1.0.0-alpha.7
>=6 <7	>=1.0.0-alpha.8

Consuming the library

In your Angular AppModule (app.module.ts):

import {
    BrowserModule
} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {
    NgModule
} from '@angular/core';
 
import {
    AuthModule
} from 'angular-aap-auth';
import {
    JwtModule
} from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
 
import {
    AppComponent
} from './app.component';
 
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        AuthModule.forRoot(), // Defaults to localStorage `id_token` key.
        JwtModule.forRoot({
            config: {
                tokenGetter: () => localStorage.getItem('id_token')
            }
        })
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

The default configuration uses localStorage to save the JWT token under the key 'id_token'. See Advance usage for a more fine grained configuration.

Example use on a component:

import {
    Component,
    OnInit
} from '@angular/core';
import {
    Observable,
} from 'rxjs';
 
import {
    AuthService,
    Credentials
} from 'angular-aap-auth';
 
@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
    <button (click)="auth.windowOpen()">Login small window</button>
    <button (click)="auth.tabOpen()">Login new tab</button>
    <button (click)="auth.logOut()">Logout</button>
 
    <div *ngIf="(credentials | async) as user; else loggedOut">
        <p>Real name: {{ user.realname }}</p>
        <p>Username: {{ user.username }}</p>
        <p>Token: {{ user.token }}</p>
    </div>
    <ng-template #loggedOut>
        <p>Please, log in.</p>
    </ng-template>
    `
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    credentials: Observable < Credentials | null > ;
 
    constructor(
        // Public for demonstration purposes
        public auth: AuthService,
    ) {
        this.credentials = auth.credentials();
    }
 
    ngOnInit() {
        this.auth.addLogInEventListener(() => console.log('Welcome'));
        this.auth.addLogOutEventListener(() => console.log('Bye'));
    }
}

Alternative approach:

import {
    Component,
    OnInit
} from '@angular/core';
import {
    Observable,
} from 'rxjs';
import {
    map
} from 'rxjs/operators';
 
import {
    AuthService
} from 'angular-aap-auth';
 
@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `
    <button (click)="auth.windowOpen()">Login small window</button>
    <button (click)="auth.tabOpen()">Login new tab</button>
    <button (click)="auth.logOut()">Logout</button>
 
    <p>Authenticated: {{ isAuthenticated|async }}</p>
    <p>Real name: {{ realname|async }}</p>
    <p>Username: {{ username|async }}</p>
    <p>Token: {{ token|async }}</p>
    `
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    username: Observable < string | null > ;
    realname: Observable < string | null > ;
    token: Observable < string | null > ;
    isAuthenticated: Observable < string > ;
 
    constructor(
        // Public for demonstration purposes
        public auth: AuthService,
    ) {
        this.username = auth.username();
        this.realname = auth.realname();
        this.token = auth.token();
 
        this.isAuthenticated = auth.isAuthenticated().pipe(
            map(value => value && 'true' || 'false')
        );
    }
 
    ngOnInit() {
        this.auth.addLogInEventListener(() => console.log('Welcome'));
        this.auth.addLogOutEventListener(() => console.log('Bye'));
    }
}

Advance module configuration:

import {
    BrowserModule
} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {
    NgModule
} from '@angular/core';
 
import {
    AppComponent
} from './app.component';

import {
    JwtModule
} from '@auth0/angular-jwt';
 
export function getToken(): string {
    return localStorage.getItem('jwt_token') || '';
}
export function updateToken(newToken: string): void {
    return localStorage.setItem('jwt_token', newToken);
}
// Optional
export function removeToken(): void {
    return localStorage.removeItem('jwt_token');
}
 
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        AuthModule.forRoot({
            aapURL: 'https://api.aai.ebi.ac.uk',
            tokenGetter: getToken,
            tokenUpdater: updateToken,
            tokenRemover: removeToken // Optional
        }),
        JwtModule.forRoot({
            config: {
                tokenGetter: getToken,
            }
        })
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

        this.iss = this.token.pipe(
            map(token => jwt.getClaim < string, null > ('iss', null))
        );
    }
 
    openLoginWindow() {
        // ttl: time of live, and location
        this.auth.windowOpen({
