Sample application for Play + AngularJS + Authorization with Social login.

Example application for Play + AngularJS + Authorization with Social login.

Intro

I've just begun to learn Scala, Play and AngularJs. This is just a very basic sample application so I could play around and deal with a single-page's app security and experiment with these technologies. Oauth provider(facebook and google) are used to authorize the client. Angular frontend then uses the generated token for signing the request. I think in reality I will end up using a comprehensive library for security such as play-silhouette which seems to be actively developed, playing around for now!

The template used here was the template generously provided by Marius Soutier play-angular-require-seed. It also the blog post Securing AngularJS Applications with Play

For authorizing with google I used the realease candidate of google's java api client => sbt: "com.google.api-client" % "google-api-client" % "1.17.0-rc". And For authorizing with facebook I used google restfb since the facebook's official java api client is not actively maintained anymore => sbt: "com.restfb" % "restfb" % "1.6.12".

Its quite easy to use other providers by extending the authorizer trait and building the AuthorizationContainer with that trait.

provider match { case "google" => authorizer = Option(new AuthorizationContainer with GoogleAuthorizationService) }

The app is running on http://play-angular-social-auth.herokuapp.com. This works fine on Chrome and Firefox but for some reason login doest not work in Safari! I get [Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me understand why.

Running the app locally

• play update
• Edit to social.conf and add your own client id, client secret and redirect url.
• Run via play ~run
• Go to localhost:9000
