Rails-Angular-Auth0

This example shows how to secure your RailsAPI+Angular using RS256 signed and Auth0-issued JSON Web Tokens.

Create a Free Auth0 Account

First of all, you need to create a Auth0 account

Go to Auth0 and click Sign Up.
Use Google, GitHub or Microsoft Account to login.

You need to create an application to get the following enviroment variables:

AUTH0_DOMAIN
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID
AUTH0_AUDIENCE

Rails - Running the Sample Application (Server side)

In order to run the example you need to have Ruby 2.3.1 installed and bundle library.

You also need to set the Domain, and API Audience for your Rails API as environment variables with the following names respectively: AUTH0_DOMAIN and AUTH0_AUDIENCE.

Set the environment variables in .env to match those in your Auth0 API.

# .env file
AUTH0_DOMAIN="myAuth0Domain"
AUTH0_AUDIENCE=myAPIAudience

Once you've set these environment variables, run:

$ bundle install
$ rails db:setup
$ rails db:migrate

Then rails s --port 3001 to run server.

Angular - Running the Sample Application (Client side)

In order to run the example you need to have Node 12.14.0

This sample app demonstrates how to call an API using the access token retrieved during authentication. It uses auth0-spa-js.

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 8.1.2.

Configuration

In the root of the client folder, copy auth_config.json.example and rename it to auth_config.json. Open the file and replace the values with those from your Auth0 config:

{
  "domain": "<AUTH0_DOMAIN>",
  "clientId": "<AUTH0_CLIENT_ID>",
  "audience": "<AUTH0_AUDIENCE>"
}
