Ember-auth-tutorial

This is a tutorial outlining how to create an Ember.js app with authorization using

Tutorial

This assumes you have git, node, bower, and ember-cli installed

Create a new ember app

ember init or ember new see the ember-cli docs for more info

Get dependencies

npm install --save-dev torii ember-cli-simple-auth-torii
ember generate ember-cli-simple-auth-torii

Basic App setup

ember g route application
ember g route protected
ember g route login
ember g controller login

Add Mixins

//--- /app/routes/application.js
import Ember from 'ember';
import ApplicationRouteMixin from 'simple-auth/mixins/application-route-mixin';

export default Ember.Route.extend(ApplicationRouteMixin);
//--- /app/routes/protected.js
import Ember from 'ember';
import AuthenticatedRouteMixin from 'simple-auth/mixins/authenticated-route-mixin';

export default Ember.Route.extend(AuthenticatedRouteMixin);

Add Login Actions and setup controller

You could add more torii providers, see the documentation for more info

//--- /app/controllers/login.js
import Ember from 'ember';
import LoginControllerMixin from 'simple-auth/mixins/login-controller-mixin';

export default Ember.Controller.extend(LoginControllerMixin, {
  authenticator: 'authenticator:torii'
});
//--- /app/routes/login.js
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
	actions: {
		googleLogin: function() {
			this.get('session').authenticate('simple-auth-authenticator:torii', 'google-oauth2');
			return;
		}
	}
});

Update your templates

See example

Get google setup

This is likely analgous to other torii providers, I have only used google

Update environment.js

//--- config/environment.js
ENV['torii'] = {
  providers: {
    'google-oauth2': {
      apiKey: 'client_id from google',
      scope: 'profile',
      redirectUri: 'http://localhost:4200'
    }
  }
};

Test & Enjoy

run ember server and try it out!

Bonus: Get user info from google

We are going to create a custom torii provider that will also get the users information from google. We need the custom provider because the default google-ouath2 uses the code workflow rather than the token workflow that the google plus api's need. This code extends torii oauth2-bearer and borrows from torri google-oauth2. It also uses jQuery for the GET request, if there is a better way let me know!

Then update:

  • environment.js torii provider to match the custom providers name (this provider also uses scope profile email)
  • Your login action to match the custom providers name

Then enable the Google+ API in your google dev console

You now will have access to session.content.userName and session.content.userEmail
