Authentication Methods

Crema supports JWT Auth, Auth0, Firebase, Aws auth methods

Crema supports 4 types of authentication methods as follows. By default, Crema comes with the firebase authentication method. You can switch between them by following some steps written in the particular Auth method.

Don't forget to change the header in case you have a different form "Authorization"

  1. JWT Auth

    JSON Web Token is a proposed Internet standard for creating data with an optional signature.

    The Crema demo is linked with the Mongoose server. You can find our predefined APIs here

    To integrate JWT Auth you need to follow the following steps.

    1. Open the libs/services/auth/src/jwt-auth/index.js file and update baseURL of your server like below

      const jwtAxios = axios.create({
        baseURL: 'YOUR_API_URL HERE',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
      });

    2. Set header token in the axios, go to the file libs/services/auth/src/jwt-auth/index.js and change the

      export const setAuthToken = (token) => {  
       if (token) {
          jwtAxios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + token;// Change this according your requirement
          localStorage.setItem('token', token);
        } else {
          delete jwtAxios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'];
          localStorage.removeItem('token');
        }
      };
      
    3. Update the AppAuthProvider component in the file apps/source/src/core/AppAuthProvider/index.js like below.

      const AppAuthProvider = ({children}) => {
        const {fetchStart, fetchSuccess, fetchError, showMessage} =
          useInfoViewActionsContext();
      
        return (
          <JWTAuthProvider
            fetchStart={fetchStart}
            fetchError={fetchError}
            fetchSuccess={fetchSuccess}
            showMessage={showMessage}
          >
            {children}
          </JWTAuthProvider>
        );
      };
      
      export default AppAuthProvider;

    4. Uncomment the JWT Auth method like below in the libs/hooks/src/AuthHooks.js file and comment out the previous hooks

      // ForJWT Auth
      import { getUserFromJwtAuth } from '@crema/helpers/AuthHelper';
      import {
        useJWTAuth,
        useJWTAuthActions,
      } from "@crema/services/auth/JWTAuthProvider";
      
      export const useAuthUser = () => {
        const { user, isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useJWTAuth();
        return {
          isLoading,
          isAuthenticated,
          user: getUserFromJwtAuth(user),
        };
      };
      
      export const useAuthMethod = () => {
        const { signInUser, signUpUser, logout } = useJWTAuthActions();
      
        return {
          signInUser,
          logout,
          signUpUser,
        };
      };

    5. In the final step, we need to call the<SigninJwtAuth> tag in the apps/source/src/modules/auth/Signin/index.js file like below and do the same for Signup.

      import { SigninJwtAuth } from '@crema/modules/auth/SignIn';
      
      export default SigninJwtAuth;
      

  2. Firebase

    Firebase security applies Google's internal expertise to easily build app sign-ins. Develop simple, free multi-platform sign-in with Firebase Authentication. To integrate Firebase Auth you need to follow the following steps.

    1. Configure your app here

    2. Open the libs/services/auth/src/firebase/firebase.js file and update firebaseConfig for your app like below

      const firebaseConfig = {
        apiKey: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
        authDomain: 'XXXXXXXXXX.firebaseapp.com',
        projectId: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
        storageBucket: 'XXXXXXXXXX.appspot.com',
        messagingSenderId: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
        appId: '1:XXXXXXXXXX:web:XXXXXXXXXX',
        measurementId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX',
      };

    3. Update the AppAuthProvider component in the file apps/source/src/core/AppAuthProvider/index.js like below.

      const AppAuthProvider = ({children}) => {
        const {fetchStart, fetchSuccess, fetchError, showMessage} =
          useInfoViewActionsContext();
      
        return (
          <FirebaseAuthProvider
            fetchStart={fetchStart}
            fetchError={fetchError}
            fetchSuccess={fetchSuccess}
            showMessage={showMessage}
          >
            {children}
          </FirebaseAuthProvider>
        );
      };

    4. Uncomment the Firebase Auth method like below in the libs/hooks/src/AuthHooks.js file

      //For Firebase Auth
      
      import {
        useFirebase,
        useFirebaseActions,
      } from '@crema/services/auth/FirebaseAuthProvider';
      import { getUserFromFirebase } from '@crema/helpers/AuthHelper';
      
      export const useAuthUser = () => {
        const { user, isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useFirebase();
        return {
          isLoading,
          isAuthenticated,
          user: getUserFromFirebase(user),
        };
      };
      
      export const useAuthMethod = () => {
        const {
          logInWithEmailAndPassword,
          registerUserWithEmailAndPassword,
          logInWithPopup,
          logout,
        } = useFirebaseActions();
      
        return {
          logInWithEmailAndPassword,
          registerUserWithEmailAndPassword,
          logInWithPopup,
          logout,
        };
      };

    5. In the final step, we need to call the<SigninFirebase> tag in the apps/source/src/modules/auth/Signin/index.js file like below and do the same for Signup.

      import { SigninFirebase } from '@crema/modules/auth/SignIn';
      
      export default SigninFirebase;

  3. AWS

    Amazon Cognito lets you add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your web and mobile apps quickly and easily. To integrate AWS Auth you need to follow the following steps.

    1. Configure your app here

    2. Open the libs/services/auth/src/aws-cognito/aws-exports.js file and update awsConfig for your app like below

      
      export const awsConfig = {

        );
      };

    4. Uncomment the AWS Auth method like below in the libs/hooks/src/AuthHooks.js file

      
      // For AWS Auth
      import {getUserFromAWS} from '@crema/helpers/AuthHelper';
      import {
        useAwsCognito,

          logout,
        };
      };
      

    5. In the final step, we need to call the<SigninAwsCognito> tag in the apps/source/src/modules/auth/Signin/index.js file like below and do the same for Signup.

      import { SigninAwsCognito } from '@crema/modules/auth/SignIn';
      
      export default SigninAwsCognito;

  4. Auth0

    Rapidly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications. To integrate. Auth0 you need to follow the following steps.

    1. Configure your app here

    2. Open the libs/services/auth/src/auth0/auth0Config.js file and update Auth0Config for your app like below

      const Auth0Config = async () => {
        return await createAuth0Client({
          client_id: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
          domain: 'XXXXXXXXXX.auth0.com',
          redirect_uri: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
          audience: 'https://XXXXXXXXXX.auth0.com/userinfo',
        });
      };

    3. Update the AppAuthProvider component in the file apps/source/src/core/AppAuthProvider/index.js like below.

      const AppAuthProvider = ({children}) => {
        return <Auth0Provider>{children}</Auth0Provider>;
      };

    4. Wrap <AuthRoutes> with <AppAuthProvider > Component in the apps/source/src/core/AppAuthProvider/index.js a file like below.

      //For Auth0
      import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';
      import { useMemo } from 'react';
      import { getUserFromAuth0 } from '@crema/helpers/AuthHelper';
      
      export const useAuthUser = () => {
        const { user, isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useAuth0();
        return {
          isLoading,
          isAuthenticated,
          user: useMemo(() => getUserFromAuth0(user), []),
        };
      };
      
      export const useAuthMethod = () => {
        const { loginWithRedirect, logout } = useAuth0();
        return { loginWithRedirect, logout };
      };
      

    5. In the final step, we need to call loginWithRedirect method on the Login button.
