<script src="https://cdn.auth0.com/js/auth0/9.12.1/auth0.min.js"></script>
From npm:
npm install auth0-js
After installing the auth0-js
module, you'll need bundle it up along with all of its dependencies.
Provides support for all the authentication flows.
var auth0 = new auth0.WebAuth({
domain: '{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}',
clientID: '{YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID}'
});
Parameters:
- domain {REQUIRED, string}: Your Auth0 account domain such as
'example.auth0.com'
or'example.eu.auth0.com'
. - clientID {REQUIRED, string}: The Client ID found on your Application settings page.
- redirectUri {OPTIONAL, string}: The URL where Auth0 will call back to with the result of a successful or failed authentication. It must be whitelisted in the "Allowed Callback URLs" in your Auth0 Application's settings.
- scope {OPTIONAL, string}: The default scope used for all authorization requests.
- audience {OPTIONAL, string}: The default audience, used if requesting access to an API.
- responseType {OPTIONAL, string}: Response type for all authentication requests. It can be any space separated list of the values
code
,token
,id_token
. If you don't provide a globalresponseType
, you will have to provide aresponseType
for each method that you use. - responseMode {OPTIONAL, string}: The default responseMode used, defaults to
'fragment'
. TheparseHash
method can be used to parse authentication responses using fragment response mode. Supported values arequery
,fragment
andform_post
. Thequery
value is only supported whenresponseType
iscode
. - _disableDeprecationWarnings {OPTIONAL, boolean}: Indicates if deprecation warnings should be output to the browser console, defaults to
false
. - maxAge {OPTIONAL, number}: Used during token validation. Specifies the maximum elapsed time in seconds since the last time the user was actively authenticated by the authorization server. If the elapsed time is greater than this value, the token is considered invalid and the user must be re-authenticated.
- authorize(options): Redirects to the
/authorize
endpoint to start an authentication/authorization transaction. Auth0 will call back to your application with the results at the specifiedredirectUri
. The default scope for this method isopenid profile email
.
auth0.authorize({
audience: 'https://mystore.com/api/v2',
scope: 'read:order write:order',
responseType: 'token',
redirectUri: 'https://example.com/auth/callback'
});
- parseHash(options, callback): Parses a URL hash fragment to extract the result of an Auth0 authentication response.
This method requires that your tokens are signed with RS256. Please check our Migration Guide for more information.
auth0.parseHash({ hash: window.location.hash }, function(err, authResult) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
// The contents of authResult depend on which authentication parameters were used.
// It can include the following:
// authResult.accessToken - access token for the API specified by `audience`
// authResult.expiresIn - string with the access token's expiration time in seconds
// authResult.idToken - ID token JWT containing user profile information
auth0.client.userInfo(authResult.accessToken, function(err, user) {
// Now you have the user's information
});
});
- checkSession(options, callback): Allows you to acquire a new token from Auth0 for a user who already has an SSO session established against Auth0 for your domain. If the user is not authenticated, the authentication result will be empty and you'll receive an error like this:
{error: 'login_required'}
.The method accepts any valid OAuth2 parameters that would normally be sent to/authorize
. Everything happens inside an iframe, so it will not reload your application or redirect away from it.
auth0.checkSession(
{
audience: 'https://mystore.com/api/v2',
scope: 'read:order write:order'
},
function(err, authResult) {
// Authentication tokens or error
}
);
The contents of authResult
are identical to those returned by parseHash()
.
Important: If you're not using the hosted login page to do social logins, you have to use your own social connection keys. If you use Auth0's dev keys, you'll always get
login_required
as an error when callingcheckSession
.
Important: Because there is no redirect in this method,
responseType: 'code'
is not supported and will throw an error.
Remember to add the URL where the authorization request originates from to the Allowed Web Origins list of your Auth0 Application in the Dashboard under your Applications's Settings.
- client.login(options, callback): Authenticates a user with username and password in a realm using
/oauth/token
. This will not initialize a SSO session at Auth0, hence can not be used along with silent authentication.
auth0.client.login(
{
realm: 'Username-Password-Authentication', //connection name or HRD domain
username: '[email protected]',
password: 'areallystrongpassword',
audience: 'https://mystore.com/api/v2',
scope: 'read:order write:order'
},
function(err, authResult) {
// Auth tokens in the result or an error
}
);
The contents of authResult
are identical to those returned by parseHash()
.
Provides an API client for the Auth0 Authentication API.
var auth0 = new auth0.Authentication({
domain: '{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}',
clientID: '{YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID}'
});
- buildAuthorizeUrl(options): Builds and returns the
/authorize
url in order to initialize a new authN/authZ transaction. https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#database-ad-ldap-passive- - buildLogoutUrl(options): Builds and returns the Logout url in order to initialize a new authN/authZ transaction. https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#logout
- loginWithDefaultDirectory(options, cb): Makes a call to the
oauth/token
endpoint withpassword
grant type. https://auth0.com/docs/api-auth/grant/password - login(options, cb): Makes a call to the
oauth/token
endpoint withhttps://auth0.com/oauth/grant-type/password-realm
grant type. - oauthToken(options, cb): Makes a call to the
oauth/token
endpoint. - userInfo(token, cb): Makes a call to the
/userinfo
endpoint and returns the user profile.
Provides an API Client for the Auth0 Management API (only methods meant to be used from the client with the user token). You should use an access_token
with the https://YOUR_DOMAIN.auth0.com/api/v2/
audience to make this work. For more information, read the user management section of the Auth0.js documentation.
var auth0 = new auth0.Management({
domain: '{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}',
token: '{ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_THE_USER}'
});
- getUser(userId, cb): Returns the user profile. https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/get_users_by_id
- patchUserMetadata(userId, userMetadata, cb): Updates the user metadata. It will patch the user metadata with the attributes sent. https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/patch_users_by_id
- patchUserAttributes(userId, user, cb): Updates the user attributes. It will patch the root attributes that the server allows it. To check what attributes can be patched, go to https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/patch_users_by_id
- linkUser(userId, secondaryUserToken, cb): Link two users. https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/post_identities
