@idpass/data-collect-core / AuthManager

Class: AuthManager

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:97

Manages authentication across various providers using pluggable adapters.

The AuthManager orchestrates authentication flows, supporting multiple authentication configurations (e.g., Auth0, Keycloak, or a default username/password login). It securely stores tokens and manages user session states.

Key features:

  • Pluggable Adapters: Integrates with different authentication providers via adapter pattern.
  • Multi-Provider Support: Allows configuring and using multiple authentication mechanisms simultaneously.
  • Token Management: Handles secure storage, retrieval, and removal of authentication tokens.
  • Session Management: Provides methods to check authentication status and manage logout.

Architecture:

  • Uses the Strategy pattern where each authentication provider (Auth0, Keycloak) is an adapter.
  • Adapters are dynamically loaded based on the AuthConfig provided during initialization.
  • Leverages AuthStorageAdapter for persistent storage of authentication tokens.

Examples​

Basic usage with a default login:

const authManager = new AuthManager(
  [{ type: 'default', url: 'http://localhost:3000' }], // Configure default login
  'http://localhost:3000',
  new IndexedDbAuthStorageAdapter('my-tenant')
);
await authManager.initialize();

// Attempt login
await authManager.login({ username: 'user@example.com', password: 'password123' }, 'default');
if (await authManager.isAuthenticated()) {
  console.log('User is authenticated!');
}

Login with an external provider (e.g., Auth0):

const authManager = new AuthManager(
  [{ type: 'auth0', clientId: '...', domain: '...' }], // Configure Auth0
  'http://localhost:3000', // Sync server URL, not directly used by Auth0 adapter
  new IndexedDbAuthStorageAdapter('my-tenant')
);
await authManager.initialize();

// Initiate Auth0 login flow (redirects to Auth0, then back to callback URL)
await authManager.login(null, 'auth0');

// In the callback handler:
await authManager.handleCallback('auth0');

Constructors​

Constructor​

new AuthManager(configs, syncServerUrl, authStorage?): AuthManager

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:98

Parameters​

configs​

AuthConfig[]

syncServerUrl​

string

authStorage?​

AuthStorageAdapter

Returns​

AuthManager

Properties​

lastRefreshToken​

lastRefreshToken: string | null = null

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:105

Methods​

initialize()​

initialize(): Promise<void>

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:114

Initializes the AuthManager by instantiating and configuring authentication adapters. Based on the provided AuthConfig array, it loads the corresponding authentication adapters (e.g., Auth0, Keycloak) and prepares them for use.

Returns​

Promise<void>

A Promise that resolves when all configured adapters are initialized.

isAuthenticated()​

isAuthenticated(): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:150

Checks if the user is currently authenticated with any of the configured providers or via the default login mechanism.

Returns​

Promise<boolean>

A Promise that resolves to true if authenticated, false otherwise.

Throws​

If AuthStorageAdapter is not set when checking default token.

login()​

login(credentials, type?): Promise<void>

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:178

Handles user login, either through a specific authentication adapter or using the default username/password login mechanism to the sync server.

Parameters​

credentials​

PasswordCredentials | TokenCredentials | null

The credentials for login (username/password or token).

type?​

string

Optional. The type of authentication provider to use (e.g., 'auth0', 'keycloak', 'default'). If not provided, and credentials are PasswordCredentials, it defaults to the 'default' login.

Returns​

Promise<void>

A Promise that resolves when the login operation is complete.

Throws​

If AuthStorageAdapter is not set or if login fails.

logout()​

logout(): Promise<void>

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:261

Logs out the user from all configured authentication adapters and clears all stored tokens.

Returns​

Promise<void>

A Promise that resolves when the logout operation is complete.

validateToken()​

validateToken(type, token): Promise<boolean>

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:276

Validates an authentication token for a specific provider.

Parameters​

type​

string

The type of authentication provider (e.g., 'auth0', 'keycloak').

token​

string

The token string to validate.

Returns​

Promise<boolean>

A Promise that resolves to true if the token is valid, false otherwise.

getCurrentUser()​

getCurrentUser(): { id: string; username?: string; } | null

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:280

Returns​

{ id: string; username?: string; } | null

handleCallback()​

handleCallback(type): Promise<void>

Defined in: components/AuthManager.ts:291

Handles the authentication callback for a specific provider. This is typically used in browser environments after a redirect from an OAuth provider.

Parameters​

type​

string

The type of authentication provider (e.g., 'auth0', 'keycloak').

Returns​

Promise<void>

A Promise that resolves when the callback is handled.
